MRI Safety Testing:
How Device Manufacturers
Can Ensure Safety of
Patients with
Implants
W
6
ith a view to the absolute
safety of patients,
medical device manufacturers
must be
aware of the potential
risks of magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). This involves, for example, the
functionality of implants, compatibility
with other medical devices used in this
environment, and the safety of patients
wearing medical implants. This means a
lot of responsibility for the manufacturers,
which can be addressed with MRI
safety tests, among other things.
Originally developed in the late 1970s
after decades of research and experimentation,
MRI technology now plays an important
role in healthcare, be it in
the diagnosis, treatment, or management
of various types of cancers and a
range of other medical conditions. MRI
scans give healthcare professionals the
ability to identify potentially serious conditions
at the very earliest stages, helping
to ensure successful treatment outcomes.
And MRI scans are noninvasive and generally
painless for the patient and eliminate
the risk of exposure to radiation
such as that found in x-rays and CT scans.
At the same time, the use of MRI technologies
can present potential hazards to
patients with implantable medical devices,
as well as to personnel in the MRI scanner
environment. These hazards can
