Head-only MRI of Deep Brain Stimulation devices at 0.5 T: Patient-derived approaches for estimating radiofrequency heating.
The growing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases has increased the number of patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS), many of whom will require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during their care. However, radiofrequency (RF)-induced heating of conductive DBS leads during MRI remains a primary safety conc...
