Evaluation of a power injection system in the 7‐Tesla MRI environment

Abstract: The injection of contrast media enables the visualization of various pathologies through X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or other medical imaging modalities. Safety and functionality of power injector systems must be evaluated at high magnetic fields (7-Tesla). The purpose of this study was to evaluate MRI issues for a power injection system (OptiStar Elite MR Contrast Delivery System, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Hazelwood, MO) at 7-Tesla including magnetic field interaction and… Show more

“…Especially for use in the MRI suite, electronic and metallic components are a potential safety and operational hazard and for ultimate patient safety, the device should be lightweight (<10 kg weight inside the MRI room) and entirely manufactured from nonferromagnetic materials with few to no electronic components to avoid accidents related to magnetic attraction forces ( Figure 6 ) and to ensure that the MRI scanner operates properly. 23 , 29…”

“…21 , 22 All other units still do have some ferromagnetic components built in and while they state to be compatible to 3 T, translational attraction forces (mainly the power supply) require that these devices stay outside the 0.1 T (=1,000 Gauss) line. 23 …”
