MRI in patients with implanted active devices: how to combine safety and image quality using a limited transmission field?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:We invented a drape-like shield against scattered X-rays that can safely come into contact with medical equipment or people during fluoroscopically guided procedures. The shield can be easily removed from a C-arm unit using one hand. We evaluated the use of the novel removable shield during the endoscopic re...
