What Are the MRI Safety Implications for Pregnant Women?

There is more light coming into the world of contrast agents. When it comes to pregnant mothers, MRI contrast is especially important to ensure safety.

At SAMM Systems, we take MRI safety seriously. While you don't need to worry about MRI contrast agents with us, we maintain a high standard for MRI conditional equipment, such as SAMM MD and SAMM System for patient monitoring needs. When it comes getting scans during such a transitional time, you don't want to worry about MRI safety.
