DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a growing interest in the use of chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus, globus pallidus, and the subthalamic nucleus for the treatment of medically refractory movement disorders and other neurological and psychiatric conditions. The number of patients undergoing DBS surgeries is anticipated to increase rapidly. Use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for the management of patients with DBS. Critical studies include verification of lead position, assessment of patients with poor outcomes, evaluation for other intracranial pathologies, and performing functional MRI studies. However, electronically activated devices are generally considered to be contraindicated for patients undergoing MRI, based on reports of adverse effects in the literature. Our primary hypothesis is that parameters can be defined that will enable safe MR imaging in patients with DBS. Building upon our preliminary data, We intend to conduct a comprehensive safety analysis, functional assessment of the stimulation devices, and evaluation of the artifacts produced by the DBS. We will use 1.5 Tesla and 3Tesla MR systems, body radio frequency (RF) and head RF coils to conduct all experiments. Specifically, in-vitro experiments will be performed to assess DBS magnetic field interactions (translational attraction and torque), MRI-related heating (including computer modeling), induced electrical currents, and identification of any effects on device functionality. The artifacts produced by the DBS electrodes will also be quantified. The identification of safe MRI parameters will enable patients with neurostimulation systems to routinely undergo diagnostic MR procedures and allow the use of this important imaging modality for the optimal localization of DBS electrodes.

描述（由申请人提供）： 人们越来越关注使用丘脑、苍白球和丘脑底核的慢性深部脑刺激（DBS）来治疗医学难治性运动障碍和其他神经和精神疾病。预计接受 DBS 手术的患者数量将迅速增加。磁共振成像 (MRI) 的使用对于 DBS 患者的治疗至关重要。关键研究包括验证引导位置、评估预后不良的患者、评估其他颅内病变以及进行功能性 MRI 研究。 然而，根据文献中的不良反应报告，电子激活设备通常被认为是接受 MRI 的患者的禁忌。我们的主要假设是，可以定义参数，使 DBS 患者能够进行安全的 MR 成像。根据我们的初步数据，我们打算进行全面的安全分析、刺激装置的功能评估以及 DBS 产生的伪影的评估。我们将使用 1.5 Tesla 和 3Tesla MR 系统、身体射频 (RF) 和头部 RF 线圈来进行所有实验。具体来说，将进行体外实验来评估 DBS 磁场相互作用（平移吸引力和扭矩）、MRI 相关加热（包括计算机建模）、感应电流以及识别对设备功能的任何影响。 DBS 电极产生的伪影也将被量化。 安全 MRI 参数的识别将使具有神经刺激系统的患者能够定期接受诊断 MR 程序，并允许使用这种重要的成像方式来实现 DBS 电极的最佳定位。
