MRI Implants & Device Safety

MRI-safe means: Safe under certain conditions. Always safe in MRI. Unsafe. Unknown.

MRI-conditional devices are: Unsafe. Always safe. Safe under specific conditions. Not allowed.

MRI-unsafe devices should be: Tested. Allowed. Kept out of MRI environment. Covered.

Implants may be affected by MRI due to: Sound. Heat and movement. Light. Pressure.

Examples of implants include: Pacemakers. Clips. Cochlear implants. All of the above.

Device labeling helps determine: Cost. MRI compatibility. Manufacturer. Age.

MRI scanning with unsafe implants can cause: Image blur. Serious injury or death. Noise discomfort. Longer exams.

Implant information should be: Assumed. Verified before scanning. Ignored. Estimated.

Conditional implants require: No limits. Specific scanning parameters. Faster scans. Lower noise.

Who verifies implant safety?. Patient. MRI technologist and radiologist. Visitor. Receptionist.

Written documentation of implants is: Optional. Required. Rare. Not useful.

Unknown implants should be treated as: Safe. Conditional. Unsafe until proven otherwise. Approved.

MRI compatibility databases help: Scan images. Identify implant safety. Reduce noise. Improve contrast.

Proper implant screening prevents: Delays only. Safety incidents. Claustrophobia. Image artifacts.

Implant safety decisions must be: Quick. Based on verified information. Assumed. Ignored.
