Question: are aneurysm coils mri safe?
Answer: Summary: A detachable coil was assessed for magnetic field interactions, heating (body RF coil, SAR of 2.0-W/kg), and artifacts at 3-Tesla. The coil showed no magnetic field interactions and heating was negligible (+0.3°C). Therefore, this coil is safe for a patient undergoing MR imaging at 3T or less.
