✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility artifact has been documented with various implants and devices, which require appropriate identification with screening of patients prior to subjecting them to magnetic resonance examination. We performed cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examination of the aorta in a 24‐year‐old woman in the setting of repaired aortic coarctation, and found magnetic susceptibility artifact arising from the stomach in the absence of known susceptibility artifact‐producing material in this region. Further history revealed that she had ingested a prenatal vitamin prior to imaging, prompting experimental analyses that led us to conclude that iron‐containing vitamins may be a source of magnetic susceptibility artifact.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an indispensable tool for musculoskeletal imaging. The presence of metal, however, raises concerns. The potential risks are loosening and migration of the implant, heating of the metal with surrounding tissue, causing thermal damage, and artifactual distortion whi
