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...
