Safety: CONDITIONAL
Bottom line: MRI permissible (as long as there are no embedded sensors). Monitor for thermal injury.
Percutaneous Catheters and Ports
Safety: Conditional
Risks: Thermal
Conditions:
- Take precautions to limit and monitor for symptoms of thermal injury if a metallic component is present.
- No embedded sensors (e.g. for Swan Ganz catheters, see here)
Comments: No waiting necessary post-implantation
Bottom Line: MRI permissible (as long as there are no embedded sensors). Monitor for thermal injury.
