| Abstract: | Intracranial and spinal implants are increasingly prevalent around the world, placed for a wide range of neurosurgical conditions. Patients with these devices, like many individuals, may have travel plans involving passage through metal detectors and other security screening devise. However, there are virtually no studies in the currently literature evaluating the safety and interaction of neurosurgical implants with these machines. This review of manufacturer information and existing literature serves as a compilation of this information, and our pre-travel recommendations for affected patients. |
