Do not perform an MRI scan on patients who have an incomplete neurostimulation system, where a lead is present without the IPG or disconnected from the system. Serious patient injury could occur.Ībandoned devices. Do not perform an MRI scan on patients who have any components of a neurostimulation system that are unapproved for use in an MR environment.

That's why we’ve designed our devices and technologies to fit as seamlessly as possible into this critical step in your diagnostic workflow. Certain Abbott neurostimulation systems are MR Conditional with 1.5T closed bore scanners subject to conditions in the MRI Procedures Manual.īefore your patient undergoes an MRI scan:Ĭonfirm the MR Conditional components and location of the system (this information is included on the Abbott Patient ID card).Ĭonfirm that no adverse conditions to MR scanning are present.Įnsure the patient’s neurostimulation system is in MRI mode.Ĭonfirm specific scan requirements for the patient's system, intended scan location, and RF coil type. We know that MRI images are used as a tool to visualize diagnostic imaging and help provide information that may be useful to a clinician.
