Siemens MAGNETOM Verio - Interventional Procedures; Artifacts and Imaging Errors


CAUTION
Incompatible monitoring devices!
Patient burns
◆ Use only monitoring devices, for example, ECG electrodes and
pulse sensors, that meet the conditions for safe use (MR Safe
or MR Conditional).
Interventional procedures
The risk of stumbling is related in particular to the unfavorable
routing of cables/hoses of interventional components.

CAUTION
Cable/hoses of interventional components!
Injury to patient and operating personnel
◆ Route cables/hoses of interventional components so that it is
not possible to trip over them.
Artifacts and imaging errors
Due to their magnetizability, foreign objects in the area of the
magnet bore cause strong local distortions of the basic field and lead
to considerable image artifacts. Depending on the level of distortion,
diagnosis may be difficult, impaired or completely impossible.
Causes: Artifacts and imaging errors are listed according to their
source for error:
◾ System-related artifacts/imaging errors
◾ Patient-related artifacts/imaging errors
◾ User-related artifacts/imaging errors, see: Software operator
manual
User-related and patient-related artifacts/imaging errors can be
largely avoided through patient instructions and proper conduct of
patient and personnel.
