Temperature measurement on neurological pulse generators during MR scans
According to manufacturers of both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, and implantable neurological pulse generators (IPGs), MRI is contraindicated for patients with IPGs. A major argument for this restriction is the risk to induce heat in the leads due to the electromagnetic field, which could be dangerous for the surrounding brain parenchyma. The temperature change on the surface of th...
متن کاملAccuracy of arterial pulse-wave velocity measurement using MR.
The performance of a one-dimensional MR technique for the estimation of pulse-wave velocity in the aorta was evaluated. An expression for the error in this estimate was formulated and verified both by simulation and by experiment. On the basis of this formulation, guidelines for increasing the efficiency of the acquisition were established. The technique was further validated by comparison with...
متن کاملOptical measurement of skin temperature in MR-HIFU
Background/introduction MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRHIFU) treatments may cause skin heating in the vicinity of the treatment site. Current MR thermometry methods do not provide reliable measurements of skin temperature either during the sonication or during the cooldown periods between sonications. These technical challenges require additional pauses to decrease the likelihoo...
متن کاملAdult lumbar scoliosis: underreported on lumbar MR scans.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Adult lumbar scoliosis is an increasingly recognized entity that may contribute to back pain. We investigated the epidemiology of lumbar scoliosis and the rate at which it is unreported on lumbar MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS The coronal and sagittal sequences of lumbar spine MR imaging scans of 1299 adult patients, seeking care for low back pain, were reviewed to as...
