Checklist before proceeding with the head-only scan conditions
1.
Did the "START HERE – Eligibility identification" section direct you to this head-only
eligible section because the MRI-CS eligibility sheet or screen on the patient control
device denotes (with text and/or all of these symbols) head-only scan eligible?
Yes
Go to "Head-only eligible – MRI equipment and scan requirements" on
page 20 and continue from there.
No
Go to the next step.
2. Confirm that no part of the implanted system (ie, neurostimulator, extensions, leads,
abandoned leads) is within an RF transmit/receive head coil.
This can be confirmed with x-ray imaging of the neck and head region or referring to
the patient records, for example.
Yes
Yes, confirmed. Go to the next step.
No
No, could not confirm. Stop. Contact Medtronic Technical Services.
3.
Did the "START HERE – Eligibility identification" section direct you to this head-only
eligible section because the MRI-CS eligibility sheet or screen on the patient control
device denotes (with text and/or all of these symbols) that the MRI scan-type eligibility
cannot be determined?
Yes
Go to "Head-only eligible – MRI equipment and scan requirements" on
page 20 and continue from there.
