Multimodality imaging in patients with implantable loop recorders: Tips and tricks

This article aims to summarise current literature on ILRs, their basic function, types, and indications for implantation; but most of all to familiarize clinicians and radiologists with common imaging features of these devices, safety issues, and artifact-reducing methods. Specifically, this review discusses the typical appearance of ILRs on major diagnostic imaging modalities, including chest X-ray, mammography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, optimization strategies to mitigate image artifacts and safety issues regarding MRI are discussed.PMID:38096953 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.12.001
