4. Confirm that the clinician has identified whether the patient has an implanted DBS
neurostimulator and/or a lead-only system.
5. If the patient has a lead-only system, skip to step 9.
Note: Impedance measurements are not required for lead-only systems.
6. Confirm that the neurostimulator listed on the report is correct by reviewing the
programmer screen, serial number, patient ID card, or implant location, etc.
Note: If the patient has more than one neurostimulator implanted, all models should
be recorded on the MRI Eligibility worksheet. If all models are not recorded, contact
the DBS physician before proceeding with the MRI scan.
Eligibility determination – Review Scan-type eligibility
Scan-type eligibility sections in this manual show the MR Conditional scan
conditions and safety information:
Confirm therapy settings
Note: If the patient only has a lead-only system, therapy settings do not apply.
Therapy settings and the group name or letter, as applicable, should be on the
report.
7. Confirm that the patient's neurostimulator is programmed to the correct therapy
settings listed in the MRI Eligibility Report.
8. If necessary, the patient or clinician can program the neurostimulator to the
recommended therapy settings or activate MRI mode to match what is listed on the
MRI Eligibility Report.
Therapy settings and the group name or letter, as applicable, are on the report.
Note: The decision to turn off a patient's implanted neurostimulator for an MRI scan
should be carefully considered based on the patient's underlying medical condition.

Full-body scan eligibility allows therapy to continue when
using bipolar stimulation and includes the head, torso, and
extremity scan locations using an RF Whole Body Transmit
Coil, a Detachable Head Transmit/Receive Volume Coil, or
a Detachable Lower Extremity Transmit/Receive Volume
Coil.
Head scan eligibility is limited to head scans using only a
Detachable Head Transmit/Receive Volume Coil and
requires that stimulation be turned off.
MRI scan-type eligibility cannot be determined means that
the DBS system does not meet one or more criteria for the
other two scan eligibility conditions and MRI eligibility
cannot be determined for MRI scanning purposes.
