Italian term

sdoppiamento

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) breast implants
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

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.
Peer comment(s):

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.

Note from 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.
