Neurostimulation systems for deep brain stimulation: In vitro evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging–related heating at 1.5 tesla

Abstract: Purpose: To assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-related heating for a neurostimulation system (Activa Tremor Control System, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) used for chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS). Materials and Methods:Different configurations were evaluated for bilateral neurostimulators (Soletra® Model 7426), extensions, and leads to assess worst-case and clinically relevant positioning scenarios. In vitro testing was performed using a 1.5-T/64-MHz MR system and a gelfilled phantom designed to approxi… Show more

“…11 On the other hand, MR imaging may not be possible in patients with metallic implants; many researchers have reported study of RF heating of such implants. [12][13][14] Even under identical RF irradiation power, in a patient with such an implant, the uniformity of the electricˆeld is disturbed near the implant, and the electric current density and energy absorption may greatly increase locally. Such local heating is termed a``hotspot.''…”

“…Combinations of these have been previously studied in the context of scalp EEGfMRI [18] and active deep brain stimulation (DBS) during MRI [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Depending on their frequency and amplitude, excessive currents in tissue may cause electro-motive forces, electrolysis, depolarisation and stimulation, burning, coagulation, and vaporisation which can all lead to cell damage and ultimately cell death [25][26][27].…”
