For most implants, particularly those that are passive in nature (e.g., aneurysm clips, stents), newer materials and manufacturing techniques have led to dramatic improvements in the susceptibility of implants. The situation is more complex, however, for active implants like those used in cardiac...
(i.e., titanium and titanium alloys) and ferromagnetic (i.e., cobalt, nickel and associated alloys) materials in aneurysm clips and cerebrovascular stents did not induce gross artifacts in the 0.05 T46and 0.055 T images (Fig.8). We expect that ULF will enable MRI scanning of patients with...
Who can not have an MRI scan?For safety reasons, patients with the following implants are not suitable for this procedure due to the strong magnetic fields used in MRI:Cardiac Pacemaker/Defibrillator Aneurysm Clips Cochlear Implant Programmable Hydrocephalus shunt...
