Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate Magnetic Resonance Imaging safety by measuring the translational attraction, torque and susceptibility artifact for Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) implant at 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI by standard criteria. In vitro assessment tools were made of acrylic-resin by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2052-06 and F2119-07 standard. Translational attraction of BAHA implant was measured by the maximum deflection angle at 96 cm position, where the magnetically induced deflection was the greatest. The torque was assessed by the qualitative criteria of evaluating the alignment and rotation pattern, when the BAHA implant was positioned on a line with $45^{\circ}$ intervals inside the circular container in the center of the bore. The susceptibility artifact images were obtained using the hanged test tool, which was filled with $CuSO_4$ solution. And then the artifact size was measured using Susceptibility A rtifact Measurement (SA M) software. In results, the translational attraction was 0 mm at both 1.5 T and 3.0 T and the torque was 0(no torque) at 1.5 T, and +1(mild torque) at 3.0 T. The size of susceptibility artifacts was between 13.20 mm and 38.91 mm. Therefore, The BAHA implant was safe for the patient in clinical MR environment.

본 연구는 1.5 T와 3.0 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging에서 Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) implant의 수평인력, 회전력, 그리고 자화감수성 인공물의 크기를 표준측정 방법에 의해 측정하여 MR 안전성을 평가하였다. BAHA implant의 고정장치와 지지대는 0.5%의 철(iron)이 포함 된 티타늄으로 만들어졌으며, 길이는 10 mm (고정장치 4 mm, 지지대 6 mm), 최대 직경은 7.0 mm이다. 수평인력 측정장치와 자화감수성 인공물 측정장치는 각각 American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2052-06, F2119-07을 참조하여 아크릴을 이용해 제작했으며, 회전력 측정은 원형 플라스틱 용기를 이용한 측정장치를 사용하였다. 자기유도에 의한 BAHA implnat의 수평인력은 주자장이 가장 큰 지점인 96 cm지점에서 최대 변위각을 측정하였고, 회전력은 원형용기 내부의 $45^{\circ}$간격의 실선 위에 놓았을 때 나타난 회전형태를 정성적 평가기준으로 측정하였다. 자화감수성 인공물은 황산구리($CuS0_4$) 용액이 채워진 용기의 중앙에 BAHA implant를 매달아 영상을 획득한 후 Susceptibility Artifact Measurement (SAM) software를 이용해 크기를 측정하였다. 측정결과 수평인력은 1.5 T와 3.0 T에서 변위각과 변위력은 모두 0으로 나타났다. 회전력은 1.5 T에서는 0(no torque), 3.0 T에서는 +1(mild torque)로 나타났다. 자화감수성 인공물은 최소 13.20 mm, 최대 38.91 mm의 크기로 나타났다. 따라서 1.5 T, 3.0 T의 MR 환경에서 BAHA implant는 환자에게 안전하다.
