In this presentation, participants will delve into the
intricacies of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and the challenges posed by
implantable devices. Through a series of engaging discussions and practical
examples, learners will gain the skills to interpret MR conditional implant
guidelines, ensuring safe and accurate imaging procedures. They will explore
techniques to adapt to meet MR conditions, including maximum spatial gradient,
specific absorption rate (SAR), B1+rms, and time limitations. Additionally,
attendees will understand the origin of these conditions, providing a
comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing MR imaging safety.
Furthermore, participants will learn various methods to mitigate risks when MR
conditions cannot be met. This presentation equips participants with essential
knowledge and practical strategies essential for proficient MR imaging in the
presence of implants.
