MRI compatibility of silver based wound dressings

The use of dressings containing long-acting silver has become routine in the care of burns and wounds. Used in dressings to cover burns, donor sites, and skin grafts, this class of dressings offers a simplification of in- and out-patient care regimens with decreased frequency of wound care and potential cost savings [1,2]. Use of silver-containing dressings has expanded beyond burn care with increasing utilization for the management of dermal ulcers, surgical wounds, and wounds within skin folds [3 –5].
