- How do we identify the worst-case device for RF heating during MRI?
Identifying the worst-case VBR device for magnetic force and torque is relatively straightforward since these magnetic interactions are mostly dependent upon material properties of the device, which are known The more challenging task is the determination of the worst-case VBR device for RF-induced heating when there are multiple sizes, configurations, materials, orientations, MRI scanners
- heating around implants - Questions and Answers in MRI
RF-related heating is the dominant cause of peri-implant heating The currents induced by RF-irradiation do not penetrate to the center of the metallic implant but reside almost entirely along its surface; this phenomenon is known as the skin effect (explained more completely in the Popović r eference below) RF-induced currents thus flow through only a tiny fraction of the total implant mass
- MRI Safety Testing - TÜV SÜD
Medical devices, including medical implants, in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment pose risks, such as electromagnetic interactions and radiofrequency heating, to patients The MRI safety testing of medical devices is necessary to ensure the patient's safety, implant performance, and compliance with the regulations
- Standard Test Method for Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating . . .
Scope 1 1 This test method covers measurement of radio frequency (RF)-induced heating on or near a passive medical implant within a phantom during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) The test method does not specify levels of heating considered to be safe to the patient and relies on users to define their own acceptance criteria
- New Developments in Standards for MRI Safety Testing of Medical Devices
To assist with the safety evaluation, ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) developed standardized test methods for the assessment of magnetically induced displacement force and torque, RF-induced heating, and image artifacts
- MRI Safety - MED Institute
We can evaluate your device for safety in the MRI environment and perform physical MRI testing for magnetically induced displacement force, magnetically induced torque, MR image artifact, and RF-induced heating
