Abstract: A passive transponder (28) may be encoded with a number or code of up to 64 binary bits and then mounted to virtually any prosthesis implanted in a human, such as a breast implant. After implantation, the transponder's code may be conveniently read with a hand held electromagnetic reader (24) which may merely be brought within proximity of the transponder (28). The encoded transponder (28) may thus be read in a non-invasive procedure and without the use of any sophisticated or potentially harmful medical equipment or technology such as X-ray. The information encoded in the transponder (28) may correspond to patient demographics and implant data to aid in tracking the implant's manufacturer and use for medical as well as legal reasons.

Abstract: A passive electrical transponder (20) may be encoded with a code corresponding to medical information, and the transponder (20) directly transplanted in a patient's underarm area (22). The information may then be accessed with an electromagnetic hand held reader (26) which is brought into proximity of the transponder (20). The medical information may itself be directly encoded into the transponder (20), or a code used which is then keyed to a corresponding data entry in a data bank (30) accessible over telecommunication lines (32). With this invention, medical information may be reliably recorded, maintained, and accessed with minimal patient involvement in order to achieve a high degree of reliability and accuracy.

Abstract: A breast implant includes a shell fashioned from one of a group of materials which exhibit radiolucency at those x-ray intensities normally encountered for mammographic procedures. The radiolucent shell may be filled with radiolucent fill material as previously taught to thereby comprise a fully radiolucent breast implant. The radiolucent breast implant enhances the use of mammography in detecting tumors in patients having breast implants to more effectively diagnose and treat cancer.
