Medical - Medical (general) / breast implants
Italian term or phrase: sdoppiamento
I have a report for a breast MRI on a woman with implants.
Under "esami precedenti", it states

"eco del 15.1.19 a sx QSE **sdoppiamento** della protesi, a destra UQS/QSI formazione ipoecogena di 13 mm."

So far, I've come up with this:

"previous examinations: ultrasound on 15/01/19: left UOQ **splitting**??? of the prosthesis; right UQS/UIQ 13 mm hypoechoic formation"


Am I on the right track? Has the implant actually split?

Thank you for any assistance.

widening/spreading


Explanation:
It is not uncommon in time for breast implants to spread or widen the cleavage. Most commonly when this occurs after a year or so it means that the capsule around your implant may be tightening.

neutral  liz askew: Did you look up "sdoppiamento"? Also, they could see widening of the cleavage without an ultrasound, here they are looking at the implant in the ultrasound

  -> Yeah but it does not limit to the cleavage, I don't think so.

Asker: Thanks for the definitions. I've seen them. I just want to be absolutely sure that the implant has ruptured, that I haven't misunderstood.
