    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Surgical clips and metallic implants can possess ferromagnetic properties.
    • These properties pose a significant safety hazard in the high magnetic fields of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of various screening devices for detecting ferromagnetic surgical materials before MRI.
    • To assess the sensitivity and cost-effectiveness of potential pre-imaging screening solutions.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of several types of magnetometers.
    • Testing of various metal detector devices.
    • Analysis of device sensitivity and associated costs.

    Main Results:

    • Identified specific magnetometers and metal detectors suitable for pre-imaging screening.
    • Quantified the sensitivity of each tested device in detecting ferromagnetic materials.
    • Provided cost data for the evaluated screening technologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Magnetometers and metal detectors show promise as pre-imaging screening tools for patients with metallic implants.
    • The selection of an appropriate screening device depends on balancing sensitivity requirements with cost considerations.
