Summary

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients implanted with deep brain stimulation (DBS) is under strict safety guidelines. Depending on the body part being imaged, the safety may vary. Many DBS patients will need a spine MRI based on their clinical symptoms. However, the vendor safety guidelines are limiting in terms of possible MR pulse sequences. Based on phantom safety data, we designed a set of MR pulse sequences deemed as safe as possible and the protocol allows acquisition of diagnostic quality MRI images.

Detailed description

The patients who clinically require a spine MRI will undergo a spine MRI with our designed protocols to obtain diagnostic quality images. Furthermore, a limited brain MRI will be done before and after to ensure no peri-electrode tissue changes.
