MR Safety Evaluation of Orthopedic Devices: Why it's important and how to select test device configuration

It is important to evaluate orthopedic devices to ensure patient safety. An MR Safe device is  nonmagnetic, contains no metal, does not conduct electricity, and poses no known hazards in all MR environments. An MR Conditional device may be used safely only within an MR environment that matches its conditions of safe use. Any device with an unknown MRI safety status should be assumed to be MR Unsafe.
