Magnetically induced displacement force testing : Which worst-case configuration to select?
The majority of Medical Devices incorporate metallic materials (Titanium, CrCo, Stainless steel, etc.). When brought close to the MRI, these devices are likely to be attracted to the intense magnetic field of the MRI. The risk linked to this displacement force must be assessed as part of a safety study between the interactions of MRI […]
