In vitro evaluation of MR imaging issues at 3T for aneurysm clips made from MP35N: Findings and information applied to 155 additional aneurysm clips.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm clips need to be tested at 3T to characterize MR imaging concerns, including magnetic field interactions, MR imaging-related heating, and artifacts. Therefore, we evaluated these risks for aneurysm clips. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different MP35N aneurysm clips (Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip, straight, blade length 25-mm; Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip Graft...
متن کاملMR imaging of patients with intracranial aneurysm clips.
Four patients with intracranial aneurysm clips made from a variety of alloys were studied without incidence by MR imaging at field strengths ranging from 0.35 to 0.6 T. Knowledge of the type of alloy used in the manufacturing of an aneurysm clip is important in determining whether the clip will or will not deflect in a magnetic field. Ferromagnetic clips show deflection and torque in a magnetic...
متن کاملAneurysm clips made of titanium: magnetic characteristics and artifacts in MR.
PURPOSE To evaluate the magnetic characteristics, artifact formation, and implant safety of titanium aneurysm clips for use in MR imaging. METHODS Aneurysm clips made of titanium alloy TiAl6V4 were tested in a magnetometer to determine their magnetic susceptibility and in a 1.5-T MR imager using both a geometric phantom and an animal model. A commercially available alpha-Phynox clip served as...
متن کاملArtifact quantification and tractography from 3T MRI after placement of aneurysm clips in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients
BACKGROUND The application of advanced 3T MRI imaging techniques to study recovery after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is complicated by the presence of image artifacts produced by implanted aneurysm clips. To characterize the effect of these artifacts on image quality, we sought to: 1) quantify extent of image artifact in SAH patients with implanted aneurysm clips across a range of MR sequence...
متن کاملComparison of MR imaging and CT in patients with intracranial aneurysm clips.
CT and MR imaging of the brain were performed without complications in 16 patients who had undergone surgery for a ruptured aneurysm with the use of nonferromagnetic Yasargil 316 or Sugita Elgiloy clips. MR was performed on a 0.3-T Fonar beta-3000M imaging system. The artifacts caused by the clips were smaller on MR than on CT, and, therefore, anatomic structures such as the brainstem and tempo...
