“Regardless of the urgency, medical device implants have long posed serious risks for patients requiring MRI scans,” said Cameron Piron, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Synaptive. “At Synaptive, we believe we must exercise due diligence in identifying the parameters of MRI, an irreplaceable diagnostic tool, that will work for everyone, particularly in urgent care settings. The technology we used to design Evry not only holds the potential to add critical functionality to emergency neurological cases, but we hope it will prove to be accessible for the first time to a historically excluded patient population.”
“As with any visualization technology, we must ask ourselves what consequences collecting an anatomical image may have on patients,” said Ian Connell, MRI Scientist at Synaptive. “I hope these promising results will be reproduced in patient studies. Historically, we’ve had to sacrifice image utility for patients with certain implants, but mid-field MRI has come a long way to the point where, very soon, we may be able to offer the capability to make critical diagnostic decisions using magnetic fields that are safe around implants.”
