CT advantages of potential use of polymer plastic clips in neurocranium
Aim Clips in neurosurgery are made of titanium alloys, which reduce artifacts on computed tomography (CT). The radiological advantage of plastic clips on the CT image was demonstrated when they were placed in an inter-hemispherical position at an angle of 90º. The aim of this study was to investigate the behaviour of the clip placed at differe...

The effect of the shape of a clip on the magnetic field during magnetic resonance imaging examinations
Aim Plastic clips are a diamagnetic material and produce fewer artefacts in the MR field than titanium clips, which are standardin neurosurgery. However, alongside their physical properties, the shape of the clips, and their very geometry subtlety affects their behaviour in the magnetic field. Therefore, we performed a simulation in order to establ...
