3D Fast-Spin-Echo MRI with Short Tau inversion recovery fat suppression and 2-point Dixon decomposition of water and silicone signal (STIR Cube-FLEX or “Si-Cube”) is a recently developed silicone-specific sequence providing isotropic, high-resolution 3D datasets that are easily reformatted into any plane. We performed a reader study to evaluate the image quality of Si-Cube in 39 females, and found Si-Cube is robust to artifacts and has equivalent image quality to conventional 2D silicone-specific sequences (C-2D). The ability to reformat Si-Cube images in any plane potentially obviates the need to obtain C-2D sequences in other planes, streamlining the overall implant imaging protocol.
