When is a metallic implant safe for MRI – and when is it not? Even for specialists, the safety guidelines can be confusing. This issue explores how modern implant design and evolving standards have reshaped MRI safety protocols, addressing persistent misconceptions about contraindications. Further topics include the challenges of MDR and IVDR implementation in Europe, a study tracking surgeons' stress during robotic procedures, and new research on Alzheimer's biomarkers differing across populations.
