Recently rechargeable devices have been introduced for sacral neuromodulation (SNM) with conditional safety for full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Currently a recharge-free SNM device represents the standard implant; however, it is only approved for MRI head scans. As further new technologies with broader MRI capabilities are emerging, the advantages as well as disadvantages of both rechargeable versus recharge-free devices will be briefly discussed in this commentary from the perspective of patients, healthcare professionals, and providers.
最近推出了可充电设备用于骶神经调节 (SNM),全身磁共振成像 (MRI) 的安全性有条件保障。目前,无充电功能的 SNM 设备是标准植入物;然而,它仅批准用于头部 MRI 扫描。随着具有更广泛 MRI 功能的新技术不断涌现,本文将从患者、医疗保健专业人员和提供者的角度简要讨论可充电与无充电设备的优缺点。
