β¦ Synopsis
To study the image of contact lenses and intraocular lens implants in vitro and in vivo by CT and MRI prospectively. Soft and rigid contact lenses can be seen in vitro in both methods but in vivo imaging was insensitive. Intraocular lens implants were detected in CT and MRI in vitro. In vivo, intra ocular lens implants were detected in all CT, but were harder to detect by the MRI.

## 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
