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 […]

MRI Pretesting : a targeted first analysis to investigate on induced risks due to medical devices in MRI
Introduction The exposure of a medical device to the MRI environment may induce risks, especially when the device consists of conductive, magnetic or metallic materials. These risks must be assessed to meet regulatory requirements in most markets.For regulatory affairs, testing is required. However, while essential to accurately assess risks, testing is often time-consuming and costly. […]

Magnetically induced Torque in MRI : details and assessment methods
Magnetically induced Torque in MRI : details and assessment methods What causes magnetically induced torque in MRI? When exposed to the main magnetic field of MRI, medical devices containing or composed entirely of magnetic materials will experience a magnetic torque. The device tends to orient itself according to the magnetic field, in the same way […]
