Multifocal Brain MRI Artifacts Secondary to Embolic Metal Fragments Neurol 49:1451-1453, Wingerchuk,D.M.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We report a patient with unusual MRI abnormalities that had the physical characteristics of ferromagnetic artifact.We believe that the MRI artifacts were due to microscopic embolic metal fragments,most likely from a mechanical heart valve prosthesis.Potential sources of metal emboli should be considered in patients with MRI abnormalities compatible with ferromagnetic artifact.
