Vasquez LP, et al. - In this study, lead samples underwent in vitro assessment using standardized techniques in order to assess MRI security issues (magnetic field interactions, MRI-related heating, functional disturbances, and artifacts) for a new wirelessly-powered lead with receiver used for spinal cord stimulator (SCS). It was found that MRI tests performed on individuals with the new lead with the receiver exhibited no substantial matters related to the conditions given in the safety guidelines that were based on the outcomes of this investigation. Thus, MRI examinations would lead to acceptable heating when carried at appropriate whole-body-averaged particular absorption rate levels (i.e, 2.0 W/kg at 1.5 T/64 MHz and 0.3 W/kg at 3 T/128 MHz, corresponding to adjusted temperature increases of 3.6°C and 1.2°C, respectively). Moreover, individuals with this wirelessly-powered lead and receiver inserted can securely undergo MRI examinations under special circumstances.
