Riassunto

This pocket reference is designed for radiologists and radiologic technicians who need to ascertain the safety of MR procedures in patients with metallic bioimplants, prostheses, and other objects. Designed for on-the-spot consultation, it contains a tabular listing of metallic objects that have been tested for movement or deflection forces during exposure to static magnetic fields. By checking this list, the practitioner can find out at a glance the highest field strength at which an object was tested, whether it was deflected or moved, and whether the attraction to the magnetic field would pose a hazard for a patient undergoing an MR procedure. As an added feature, this 1998 update contains a comprehensive list of vendors that manufacture devices for the emerging field of interventional MRI.
