When metal meets magnet: Implant safety in MRI

From tissue heating to image artifacts – implants were once considered an absolute contraindication to MRI. Modern implant design and evolving safety standards have changed that picture considerably – yet misconceptions persist, even among imaging professionals. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, a dedicated session set out to address those misconceptions head-on.
