Is vp shunt safe in 1.5t mri?

Yes it is perfectly safe up to 1.5T This is an entirely inadequate answer! There are several shunt valves that are magnetically activated and need to be re-calibrated immediately after a MRI. The shunt and valve need to be positively identified before a the scan and then the specific manufacturers recommendations in regards to scan parameters and re-calibration must be followed. MRI Safety.com is a good resource to check these things out. I have been a MRI Technologist for many years and have seen this issue come up many times.


Is it true that adjustment of the ventricular shunt valve is required only after an MRI?

In my experience, an MRI can cause more of a problem than a help. You have to be very careful on the type of shunt that you have. If it is a particular type( I think it is the Codmans) you can't have a MRI. The reason for this is that it changes the pressures.The only reason that I know this, is that it has happened to me on a few times, before we figured out why the pressures were changing.
