DBS-eligible patients with movement disorders may need an MRI within 10 years of receiving their device.1
38% OF MRI EXAMINATIONS
of DBS-eligible patients with movement disorders are in the head, jaw, and neck.1
62% OF MRI EXAMINATIONS
of DBS-eligible patients with movement disorders are in the body.1
We performed 14 years of rigorous MRI research and testing to demonstrate the safety of our devices for MRI, including 38,000 scan conditions† and 10 million simulated patient scans.
Only Medtronic expanded MR Conditional* labeling for full body systems allow your patient to leave their DBS device on (in bipolar mode) to provide uninterrupted therapy.

KEEP LEARNINGMedtronic DBS systems are MR Conditional and safe in the MR environment as long as certain conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, a significant risk is tissue lesions from component heating, especially at the lead electrodes, resulting in serious and permanent injury including coma, paralysis, or death. Refer to the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems at www.medtronic.com/mri or contact Medtronic at (1-800) 328-0810 for a complete list of conditions. Also review current MRI manufacturer labeling before conducting the MRI.
Including patient size, position within the MRI machine, landmark location, deep brain target location, pulse generator location, and lead path.
