Stability of Codman Hakim programmable valve pressure settings during 0.23 T portable magnetic resonance imaging: a prospective observational study

Key Points

Minimal impact of 0.23T pMRI on the pressure setting of the Codman Hakim programmable valve indicates it is safe for use.
The assessment found that VPS pressure settings remained stable in 95% of cases monitored during pMRI.

Structured PICO

Does 0.23 T portable MRI affect the pressure setting of the Codman Hakim programmable valve?

Population

Patients with Codman Hakim programmable valves (ventriculoperitoneal shunts)

Intervention

0.23 T portable magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI)

Outcome

Stability of Codman Hakim programmable valve pressure settingssafety

0.23T portable MRI appears safe for follow-up in patients with Codman Hakim programmable valves, with minimal impact on pressure settings.

Abstract

The results indicate that 0.23T pMRI has minimal impact on the pressure setting of the Codman Hakim programmable valve. This study's findings support the safety and convenience of pMRI for VPS follow-up.
