Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients who are inappropriate to undergo CT/MRI examination. CT scan: Patients with a cardiac pacemaker/unremovable metal device are considered inappropriate for a CT scan. However, it may be performed only with the physician's permission. MRI scan: Cardiac pacemakers, nerve stimulators, artificial eyes (movable by magnet), cochlear implants, inferior vena cava filters, shunt tubes (shunts for hydrocephalus), stents, etc. (refers to stents, plates, bolts, implants and bridges. The same applies hereinafter). (a stent, plate, bolt, implant, bridge, etc.; the same shall apply hereinafter), the patient shall be considered inappropriate for an MRI examination. However, since stents, etc. depend on the location of the stent, they may be used only with the physician's permission.
