• New technology allows safe MRI-diagnostics for people with implants

  …images. To improve the image quality one needs to prolong the scanning time and increase the field strength of the MRI unit. This requires vast further investments and causes discomfort to patients. People with medical implants are unable to undergo examinations in MRI units of high field strength: tissue around the implant area may heat up and cause malfunction. …
