title: Magnetic resonance characteristics of the LGM vena cava filter: technical note.
abstract: The LGM (Vena Tech) IVC filter is a recently introduced device for caval interruption. The magnetic resonance imaging safety and imaging characteristics of this filter were evaluated. The filter was proven to lack ferromagnetic properties. It was imaged with minimal artifact and no detectable motion in the magnetic field.
