ACR Guidance Document for Safe MR Practices: 2007 Metal detectors The usage in MR environments of conventional metal detectors which do not differentiate between ferrous and nonferromagnetic materials is not recommended.... However, ferromagnetic detection systems are currently available that are simple to operate, capable of detecting even very small ferromagnetic objects external to the patient, and now, for the first time, differentiating between ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic materials. While the use of conventional metal detectors is not recommended, the use of ferromagnetic detection systems is recommended as an adjunct to thorough and conscientious screening of persons and devices approaching Zone IV. It should be reiterated that their use is in no way meant to replace a thorough screening practice, which rather should be supplemented by their usage.

CAUTION:  Even the most advanced technology is NOT 100 per cent foolproof.  Thus, ferromagnetic detectors should not replace current PRE-MRI screening procedures. We believe that the safety of your patients and personnel is best served by the combination of conscientious medical screening protocols AND a quality ferromagnetic detection system used with proper technique.

We help you protect your patients...
your magnet... and your investment^™
