Abstract

All valves, with the exception of the Polaris and ProGAV models, are prone to unintentional reprogramming when exposed to heterogeneous magnetic fields stronger than 40 mT. All tested valves can be considered safe for 3-T MR imaging. All valves generated a distortion of the MR image, especially the GE sequences.
