Intraocular lens implants (pseudophakoi) and steelwire sutures: a contraindication for MRI?

AbstractThe strong magnetic field of the super-conducting MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) apparatus could cause problems in the presence of metallic foreign material, such as the metal clips and loops of intraocular lenses and steel as suturing material.

Neurosurgical experience with magnetic resonance imaging in sellar lesions

Summary41 patients with various sellar and parasellar lesions (pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, optic gliomas, craniopharyngeomas and granulomas), who underwent surgery consecutively, were studied by MRI investigations. In 10 patients post-operative MRI controls were performed.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) stereotaxis using the Patil System

SummaryMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning would prove useful for lesions that are not visualized on computed tomography (CT) scan or are better defined on MRI scan.
