Gh. Hall et al., Magnetic resonance imaging appearances of the Mirena and GyneFix intra-uterine contraceptive devices: A report of two cases, BR J FAM PL, 26(4), 2000, pp. 224-226
We report here two cases which illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging (M
RI) appearance of the Mirena levonorgestrel releasing intra-uterine system
and the GyneFix copper intra-uterine contraceptive implant. The MRI appeara
nce of these devices has not to our knowledge been reported to date, and as
increasing numbers of women choose to use these devices for treatment of g
ynaecological conditions and contraception, it becomes increasingly importa
nt to recognise their appearance on pelvic imaging.
