How are silicone implants ruptures detected?

35ChicagoFemale
Have had multiple MRIs done (high risk annual cancer screening). MRI notes potential inter capsule rupture on all MRIs since implants placed. Surgeon recommended an ultrasound to confirm rupture but I was denied the ultrasound because the radiologist said that not how ruptures are detected. Any suggestions?
