A Study to Evaluate a Compact 3T MRI Scanner for Subjects with MR Conditional Implanted Devices

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a compact, 3T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner for patients with MR conditional implanted devices, including MR conditional spinal cord stimulators.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects from 18 to 99 years of age.
  • Aims 1 and 4 - subjects from daily schedules of those scanners for the brain or MSK studies.
  • Aims 2 and 3 - collaboration with the Departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for recruitment of subjects that may be identified by clinical colleagues or via the log of patients that are potential candidates to receive an implanted MR conditional device and passed on to the study team for screening. 

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The subject has an MR unsafe implanted device. Similarly subjects who have foreign metallic objects which contraindicate having an MRI exam (e.g., shrapnel).
  • If all the labeled conditions cannot be met at the location of the device for a particular subject (e.g., due to the location of their device, no x-ray available, or other some other reason), that subject will not be scanned on the Compact 3T as part of this protocol. As described above in Methods (step 5), this may result in a screen failure.
  • Pregnant or nursing subjects.
