An interesting from poster topics point of view over industry exhibition to networking with old friends and new mates from the MRI scene.

still a key topic with its recurring long known pitfalls & Co in testing ("No, phantom implant heating is not human relevant implant heating"), important other topics like AI and all really komplex and molecular imaging stuff 😉.

Since 2018 MR testing standards are outlined and updated. But new ideas how to accelerate and optimize the MR safety testing process are always part of ISMRM. So as our abstract presentation of "In-Vitro to in-Vivo Translation of RF-Induced Heating for Passive Implant Medical Devices Based on Tier 2 Plus Analysis" https://echo.ismrm.org/abstracts/view/030949cb-d188-4d17-9980-1d0c4592287c
An area of MRI safety translation of test results and regulatory aspects that is since 2023 not publicly available. We hope that at least US FDA publishes the next guidance document. All parties in the market need to have a reliable pathway to proper MR Conditional labeling and patient safety without difficulties of a 'punishing' SAR of 0.1 or 0.5 W/kg - too low and including a too high uncertainty margin for good MRI safety performance, if test results are not properly translated to the human model. See our abstract about proposed pathway towards satisfying MR Conditional labeling.

Minimize uncertainty, provide reliable labeling meeting the ASTM F2503 IEC 62570 tabulated data format for interfacing with the IEC 60601-2-33 4th Ed. MROC interface for limiting the MR scanner reliably to the scan the patient with medical device in safe and fast manner. In future towards machine readable format and MR scanner adjustment. Forward to the next standardization meeting fixing our valuable future for MR patient safety, MR user education and innovations MR medical devices.

🚨 News on new innovative concept for implant safety in low-field MRI systems! 🚨

You are MR implant manufacturer and interested in low-field MRI safety? Contact us at [email protected] with the keyword “Low-Field” in the subject line for participation.

MR:comp GmbH and partner HPC Dr. Kainz
take a special look at implant safety in low- and mid-field MRI systems up to 0.55 T with the support of Siemens Healthineers. The development of test methods for the MR safety of medical devices in low magnetic fields is planned to be driven forward in line with market and normative requirements.

🔬 Why is this important? Currently, most MR Conditional labeling of medical devices are for 1.5 T and 3 T MRI only. Although higher safety can be expected at lower fields due to the lower magnetic forces and lower RF interaction based on the longer RF wavelength, only a few implants are officially approved for low-field examinations. However, patients with implants in particular would benefit greatly from this type of MR scanner, as low-field systems have a beneficial effect on the quality of results and MR images in the vicinity of implants.

💡 Our goal: We want to change this situation! Customized test methods will be developed specifically for low-field MRI in order to safely test medical devices in these systems from a simplified perspective of a "safety envelope". These methods will also be proposed to international standardization organizations.

🛠️ The path to a solution: As soon as these test methods are established, this will lead to significantly simplified approval of implants at different field strengths, especially at lower fields. This will not only ensure wider access to MRI for patients with implants in low-field-based MRIs, but will also lead to a greater number of MR Conditional implants and thus better patient care overall. In addition, these new standards could have a significant impact on the future of medical imaging.

We are looking for implant manufacturers of non-active and active implants for common development. All interested implant manufacturers as well as MR users like radiologists, MR physicists and MRI techs, please contact us at [email protected] with the keyword “Low-Field” in the subject line for participation.

Stay tuned, we will keep you up to date on the progress!
