Optimized, Minimal Specific Absorption Rate MRI for High-Resolution Imaging in Patients with Implanted Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes
2016
American Journal of Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Obtaining high-resolution brain MR imaging in patients with a previously implanted deep brain stimulator has been challenging and avoided by many centers due to safety concerns relating to implantable devices. We present our experience with a practical clinical protocol at 1.5T by using 2 magnet systems capable of achieving presurgical quality imaging in patients undergoing bilateral, staged deep brain stimulator insertion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Protocol optimization
