What if the journey took weeks under difficult conditions? If you answered Whatever it takes, you echo the feelings of the 12 million immigrants who passed through these now quiet halls from 1892 to 1954. Ellis Island afforded them the opportunity to attain the American dream for themselves and their descendants. Come hear their stories.
Distal hooks at each end of the side struts allow for filter anchoring (Figure 9G). It is composed of nitinol material, making it MRI compatible.This filter has a small and long delivery system (8F), thus, permitting placement via the antecubital approach.
INTRODUCTION: Coronary and peripheral stents are increasingly being used for creating and maintaining flow in otherwise blocked blood vessels. with stents are routinely imaged at 1.5T and 3T where the safety and MRI compatibility of some of these devices have been previously investigated [1]. With the. availability of ultra high field scanners, there is now necessity to perform MRI safety and compatibility studies at these higher fields. We have investigated the magnetic. interactions (translational attraction and torque), heating, and levels of artifacts for some widely used coronary and peripheral stents at 7T.
