Abstract
To assess ferromagnetic properties of intracranial aneurysm clips repo rted to be nonferromagnetic, 1,765 Yasargil, 11 Sugita, and 15 Pemeczk y aneurysm clips were studied for rotation or translation on plate gla ss in a 1.5-T MR imager. Sixty-three clips (52 Yasargil, 11 Perneczky) weakly reoriented along the static magnetic resonance (MR) field. The se results confirm the need for standardized testing for ferromagnetic properties for implantable metallic devices.
