MRI of Deep Brain Stimulation Devices May Be Scalable to 3T
This feasibility study is the first to show that patients with deep brain stimulation devices—even those with bilateral leads or a fully implanted system—might safely undergo MRI at 3T. It also demonstrates in one patient that better surgical management of the extracranial portions of bilateral leads mitigates risk.
