Magnetic Resonance Visibility, Artifacts, and Overall Safety of the Self-Locating Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter with a Tungsten Tip
CONCLUSIONS: The results point to the possibility of safely performing MR in PD patients carrying the self-locating catheter. The self-locating PD catheter is stable when subjected to a 1.5T MR system. However, it creates some visual interference, preventing an accurate study of the tissues surrounding the tungsten tip.PMID:36733472 | PMC:PMC9889163 | DOI:10.1155/2023/7901413 (Source: International Journal of Nephrology)
