Abstract
Studies using magnetic resonance spectroscopy in human volunteers to e valuate their livers in vivo and to analyze their blood in vitro sugge st that there are measurable amounts of silicon compounds in the blood of some women with implants and that there is migration of silicone t o other organs such as the liver.
