Hydrocephalus is our topic. Every day. ===== Valves ===== [[Miethke valves]] [[SENSOR RESERVOIR]]. ---- The MR-compatibility of medical implants and devices becomes more and more important with the increasing number of high-field MR-scanners employed. Until the end of 2004, about twenty 3T MR in Germany will be in clinical practice. Patients with hydrocephalus need frequent follow-up MR-examinations to assure correct functioning of a shunt. We tested three types of gravitational valves: the Paedi GAV, the Dual Switch and as a new programmable valve the proGAV (Miethke Company, Berlin), that have not been evaluated at 3T, yet. In sum, there is strong evidence for maintenance of function of these valves after exposure to 3T. This also implies the programmable valve, as long as the brake mechanism is properly adjusted during MR-examination ((Lindner D, Preul C, Trantakis C, Moeller H, Meixensberger J. Effect of 3T MRI on the function of shunt valves--evaluation of Paedi GAV, Dual Switch and proGAV. Eur J Radiol. 2005 Oct;56(1):56-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2005.03.029. PMID: 16168265.)).
