Abstract

Because of unsurpassed soft tissue resolution, lack of ionizing radiation, and multi-planar imaging capability, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool in the evaluation and treatment of cardiovascular disorders. However, an increasing proportion of patients with cardiovascular disease have higher acuity of disease and ferromagnetic implants with potential for interaction with the MRI environment. Familiarity with each device class and its potential for electromagnetic interaction is essential for radiologists and cardiologists performing MRI examinations in this population of patients.
