Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This ex vivo investigation evaluated the safety of using MR imaging with a new metallic implant designed to provide permanent birth control. CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that it should be safe for patients with this metallic contraceptive implant to undergo MR imaging with systems using static magnetic fields of 1.5 T or less.
