MRI Compatibility & Safety Testing

BDC Laboratories offers ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited MRI compatibility testing of passive medical devices, as well as numerical modeling in support of testing programs when appropriate. With participation in the ASTM standard committee for MRI assessment, BDC’s technical experts possess a unique insight into the various aspect of this challenging evaluation. In addition to continuing to support the worldwide cardiac and endovascular communities with MRI safety testing, BDC is also able to provide MRI safety testing for orthopedic, spinal, dental and other passive implant technologies. Numerical simulation and modeling provide direction and insight to a test article’s response within an MRI field while the physical testing provides confirmation and the measured response of the test article.

BDC’s MRI compatibility and safety testing programs meet all the requirements of the published standards as listed below. In addition to executing MRI studies to a pre-defined assessment strategy, the BDC team is well versed in developing a comprehensive evaluation strategy when one does not already exist.
