Abstract
Implanted medical devices can present significant, life-threatening hazards in the magnetic resonance environment. Ascertaining the specific hazards of individual devices when a patient presents for investigation can be time consuming. Ready access to the results of previous searches for information is therefore valuable in a busy department. Data on 352 implantable devices have been collated over more than 10 years and incorporated into a searchable database. Issues surrounding sharing this data are discussed.
