Safety: CONDITIONAL
Bottom line: MRI permissible. Monitor for thermal injury. Requires re-programming after MRI
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt Catheters
Safety: Conditional
Risks: Thermal, Device Malfunction
Conditions:
- Determine if programmable valve
- Take precautions to limit thermal injury if a metallic component is present
Comments: If programmable VP shunt, requires re-programming after MRI, therefore coordinate scheduling to allow timely resetting.
Bottom line: MRI permissible. Monitor for thermal injury. Requires re-programming after MRI
