There are high signal subglandular implants with central serpentine, low signal line.

Normal breast on MRI demonstrates high signal fat intensity interspersed with low signal fibrous tissue. The implant material is of higher signal than normal breast fatty tissue. The lines, termed “linguini sign,” within the implant capsule indicate intracapsular collapse.
