In this manuscript, three patients with a neurostimulation system implant who underwent MRI scanning are presented. Possible hazards, effects of MR imaging and changes to the pulse generator's parameter settings are discussed. Concluded is that MRI can be safely used in certain selected circumstances. If the neurostimulator is in the anatomic region of the scanned area caution is recommended and images are likely to be affected.
在本手稿中,介绍了3例植入神经刺激系统并接受MRI扫描的患者。讨论了可能的风险、MRI成像的影响以及脉冲发生器参数设置的变化。得出的结论是,在某些特定情况下,MRI可以安全使用。如果神经刺激器位于扫描区域的解剖部位,则建议谨慎操作,且图像可能会受到影响。
