Subject: Ultrasound Mapping for Ruptures

Hi Ilena,

Doctors I have consulted re ruptured silicone implants vary widely on diagnostic tests prior to surgery.

After ultrasounds showed ruptures, doctors disagree on what to do next.

Some say no MRI's necessary.

Some say MRI'S must be with contrast. (and contrast agents can cause kidney failure...must have a blood test prior to being injected with this stuff, I found out by research, altho no doctor ordered it. That's another medical malprice issue to be aware of...the contrast agent is called " gandolinium " and the lawsuits for that are swelling just like faulty implants.

Some say no contrast agent necessary.

Most most renowned surgeons only do ultrasound mapping for migrating silicone.

Can you canvass to see any comments about ultrasound mapping versus MRI'S with or without contrast?

Thank you for all you do for us.

Lee
