Can an ultrasound show if an implant was ruptured?

ikap
I’ve had an under the pec muscle silicone breast implants for 10 years. One looks off and shifted to the side. Sometimes, I think it might be ruptured. If possible, I prefer not to do an MRI right now. Can the breast ultrasound catch if an implant was ruptured or damaged? Thank you!
