Distal hooks at each end of the side struts allow for filter anchoring (Figure 9G). It is composed of nitinol material, making it MRI compatible.This filter has a small and long delivery system (8F), thus, permitting placement via the antecubital approach.
device (IUD). When patients with an implanted contraceptive device undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), it must be ensured that. the examination involves no risk to the patient (MR safety) and that the diagnosis is not affected by artifacts or the function of the device is. not compromised (MR compatibility). Currently, all IUDs, including metal-containing devices, are MRI compatible up to a magnetic field. strength of 1.5 Tesla [2-5]. With the advent of high-field and ultra high-field MR imaging, and their growing indications, it is necessary to. assess MR safety of these devices in higher fields.
