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. It contains an extensive tabular listing of over 700 objects that have been tested for movement or deflection forces during exposure to static magnetic fields. By checking the list, the reader can find out the highest field strength at which the 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. Coverage spans the full range of metallic objects encountered in a clinical MR practice.
