ASTM F2182 – RF Test Method for MRI Implants: Principle, Limitations, and Clinical Relevance
The risk associated with radiofrequency (RF)-induced heating is often the most critical factor when assessing the safety of medical devices in MRI. The ASTM F2182 standard is the reference experimental method for measuring these temperature increases on passive implantable devices (orthopedic prostheses, stents, plates, etc.). Principle of the ASTM F2182 method The method can be […]
The ASTM F2213 standard has been updated!
The ASTM F2213 standard, which relates to the evaluation of torque induced by the MRI magnetic field on medical devices, has officially been updated today, moving from ASTM F2213-17 to F2213-25. This revision does not change the five torque assessment methods, but it introduces corrections and a few clarifications to the text. Are you concerned […]
ASTM F2052 standard : All you need to know
Introduction to ASTM F2052 Standard: Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Environment. When approaching the MRI system, any device containing ferromagnetic materials will be subjected to a displacement force induced by the static magnetic field of the MRI. This field remains active even when no scan […]

Dental implants & abutments, maxillofacial systems : what MRI assessment is required?
MRI is one of the most demanding electromagnetic environments to which a medical device can be exposed. For medical devices made of metallic, magnetic or electrically conductive materials, exposure to MRI can generate risks that need to be assessed to gain access to commercial markets. What about dental and maxillofacial implant systems? Many implants, abutments, […]

MR Image Artifacts Assessment : All you need to know
In medical imaging, alterations in images are referred to as artifacts. In MRI, the presence of a device made of ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, or conductive materials systematically leads to the formation of artifacts. These typically appear as areas of signal void (black zones) around the device, and sometimes as image distortions. In most cases, artifacts don’t […]
