22 English MRI guidelines for Medtronic neurostimulation systems for chronic pain
Instruct the patient to immediately inform the MRI operator if any
discomfort, unexpected stimulation, shocking, or heating occurs
during the examination.
Enter the correct patient weight into the MRI console to ensure
that the head SAR is estimated correctly.
Verify that all proposed MRI examination parameters comply
with the MRI exposure requirements in this head-only eligible
section. If not, the parameters must be modified to meet these
requirements. If the parameters cannot be modified, do not
perform an MRI.
Table 9. Head-only eligible – During the MRI scan
Monitor the patient both visually and audibly. Check the patient
between each imaging sequence. Discontinue the MRI
examination immediately if the patient is unable to respond to
questions or reports any problems.
During the MRI scan, the patient may feel tugging and/or
vibration of the neurostimulator. If the tugging or vibration
causes the patient considerable discomfort, stop the MRI
scan.
Table 10. Head-only eligible – Post-MRI scan
Verify that the patient has not experienced adverse effects as a
result of the MRI. Contact Medtronic to report any adverse
effects.
