Aneurysm clips made of titanium: magnetic characteristics and artifacts in MR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the reference standard. RESULTS We found minimal magnetization and a significant reduction in image artifacts with the titanium clip as compared with the Phynox clip. CONCLUSION The titanium clips improve image quality, biocompatibility, and patient safety in medical MR applications.

Aneurysm clips: evaluation of magnetic field interactions with an 8.0 T MR system.
This study was conducted to evaluate magnetic field interactions for aneurysm clips exposed to an 8.0 T magnetic resonance (MR) system. Twenty-six different aneurysm clips were tested for magnetic field translational attraction (deflection angle test) and torque (qualitative assessment method) using previously described techniques. Six of the specific aneurysm clips (i.e. type, model, blade len...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of 3.0-T MR systems is increasing worldwide. We evaluated magnetic field interactions and translational attraction for 32 aneurysm clips in association with exposure to "long-bore" and "short-bore" 3.0-T MR imaging systems. METHODS Thirty-two different aneurysm clips were evaluated in this investigation. Each aneurysm clip was qualitatively evaluated for magneti...

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 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...
