Is there a way to detect cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) breast implant rupture or leak?

Presently, and as with other types of silicone breast implants, the cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) silicone breast implants can only be examined for a possible leak by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Because silicone tends to remain inside the capsule that is formed around each implant, it would be very difficult to pick this up on routine x-rays or mammograms.
