They can be categorized as incidental and physiological. [2] Contraindications to MRI include most cochlear implants and cardiac pacemakers, shrapnel and metallic foreign bodies in the eyes.
The magnet can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. If MRI must be done, the pacemaker output in some models can be reprogrammed. [7] In February 2011, the FDA approved an MRI-safe pacemaker. [8] Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure is safe for most pacemaker patients, with some reprogramming of the pacing.
The suspensory ligament of the penis is a triangular midline structure anchoring the penis to the pubic symphysis, [1] holding the penis close to the pubic bone and supporting it during erection. [2] The ligament does not directly connect to the corpus cavernosum penis, but may still play a role in erectile dysfunction. [2]
MRI was more accurate than ultrasound for this purpose, but ultrasound mapping was well correlated with surgical results in cases where the tear was clearly visualized on ultrasound exam. [10] The advantage of ultrasound in the diagnosis of penile fracture is unrivaled when its noninvasive, cost-effective, and nonionising nature are considered.
