MRI in patients with a cerebral aneurysm clip; review of the literature and incident databases and recommendations for the Netherlands

Although in the Netherlands nowadays only Magnetic Resonance (MR) conditional or MR safe cerebral aneurysm clips are utilized, ferromagnetic aneurysm clips have been used until late in the last century. This treatment is given to patients in various age groups, including young adults. Therefore, patients implanted with an aneurysm clip that is potentially ferromagnetic may present themselves for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations for decades to come.
