Patient’s body composition can significantly affect RF power deposition in the tissue around DBS implants: ramifications for lead management strategies and MRI field-shaping techniques
Bhusal, B.; Keil, B.; Rosenow, J.; Kazemivalipour, Ehsan; Golestanirad, L. (Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2021-01-13)Patients with active implants such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices have limited access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to risks associated with RF heating of implants in MRI environment. With an aging ... -
Reconfigurable MRI coil technology can substantially reduce RF heating of deep brain stimulation implants: First in-vitro study of RF heating reduction in bilateral DBS leads at 1.5 T
Golestanirad, L.; Kazemivalipour, Ehsan; Keil, B.; Downs, S.; Kirsch, J.; Elahi, B.; Pilitsis, J.; Wald, L. L. (Public Library of Science, 2019-08)Patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants can significantly benefit from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), however access to MRI is restricted in these patients because of safety concerns due to RF heating of the ... -
Reconfigurable MRI technology for low-SAR imaging of deep brain stimulation at 3T: application in bilateral leads, fully-implanted systems, and surgically modified lead trajectories
Kazemivalipour, Ehsan; Keil, B.; Vali, A.; Rajan, S.; Elahi, B.; Atalar, Ergin; Wald, L.; Rosenow, J.; Pilitsis, J.; Golestanirad, L. (Elsevier, 2019)Patients with deep brain stimulation devices highly benefit from postoperative MRI exams, however MRI is not readily accessible to these patients due to safety risks associated with RF heating of the implants. Recently we ...
