Paper #3: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Safety of Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods in an In vivo Animal Model
Tóm tắt
Magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) is increasingly used in the treatment of early onset scoliosis. However, MRI requirement in patients with MCGR is of concern. This study investigated MRI safety of the MCGRs in an animal model and indicated that lower magnet MRI is safe in an animal model with MCGRs with no adverse effects regarding the MCGR or the animal.
