Salad oil sign

The salad oil sign, also referred to as the droplet sign, is characterized by small rounded high T2 signal foci within a breast implant on MRI studies and represents water droplets or small amounts of gas within the silicone. It also can be characterized as hypointense foci on the water-suppressed sequences.

This imaging sign is non-specific and should not be used alone to diagnose an intracapsular breast rupture .
