## Abstract Siliconβ29 (^29^Si) imaging was investigated as a potential imaging modality for monitoring silicone prostheses in humans. The ^29^Si relaxation times of several silicone gels were measured and found to average __T__~1~ = 21.2 Β± 1.5 s and __T__~2~ = 207 Β± 40 ms, with no significant diff

## Abstract In a study using explanted gel breast implants and appropriate nonimplanted controls, we examined silicone biodurability after longβterm implantation. Using NMR spectroscopy, as well as NMR relaxometry measurements (__T__~2~), no evidence of hydrolysis or other chemical degradation of t
## Abstract We have used ^29^Si solidβstate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study the chemical structure of the silicone gels in virgin and explanted breast prostheses. Despite evidences of alteration in the morphological appearance of the silicone gel inside the breast prosthesis,
