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.

What is called when a child has value shunt caused of water in the brain?
The shunt used for a person who has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") is not called a "value shunt". It is usually called a "ventriculo-peritoneal shunt" or "VP shunt" for short. Sometimes a "ventriculo-atrial shunt" or "VA shunt" is used instead.
What is the cpt code for a shunt series x ray?
The CPT code for a shunt series X-ray is 76140. This code is used specifically for imaging studies that evaluate the placement and function of a shunt, typically in cases involving conditions such as hydrocephalus. It is important to confirm the specific context and requirements for imaging to ensure proper coding.
Where can a person buy a MRI machine?

Can you give a dead person an MRI?
No, MRI scans can only be done on living individuals. The MRI machine requires the person to be able to follow specific instructions to remain still during the scan, which is not possible for a deceased individual.
