Ferromagnetic aneurysm clips have not been manufactured since the mid-1980’s. A patient with a commercially produced aneurysm clip implanted within the last 20 years is safe to scan at 3.0T. Always review the operative note or patient’s implant card prior to scanning to ensure MR safety, es...
METHOD. Focussing on the orthoplastic theatre environment, a list was collated of all surgical devices/equipment that are left in or on patients and may pose uncertainty with regards to safety when MRI scanning. Devices were divided into internal and external and included further subdivisions such ...
Aneurysm clips in the brain, which could tear the very artery they were placed on to repair if the magnet moves them Dental implants, if magnetic Most modern surgical implants, including staples, artificial joints and stents are made of non-magnetic materials, and even if they're not, they ...
Metallic skin closure staples and vessel ligation clips should be tested at 3-Tesla to characterize MRI issues in order to ensure patient safety. Therefore, metallic surgical implants were assessed at 3-Tesla for magnetic field interactions, MRI-related heating, and artifacts. Methods A skin closure...

After considering safety concerns and technical issues, these researchers examined peripheral applications for ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and venography (MRV) in the upper and lower extremities. Separate searches for each of the following keywords were carried out in PubMed:...
