Table 10. Head-only eligible – Post-MRI scan (continued)
Turn stimulation back on
After the scan has been completed, instruct the patient to see
the clinician managing the patient's neurostimulation system to
have the stimulation turned back on.
Or, if the patient has brought a patient control device to the MRI
appointment, instruct the patient (outside of the scanner room)
to turn the stimulation back on using the patient control device.
Notes:
▪
If MRI mode was activated using the patient control device,
tell the patient to press the Sync
the patient control device. Then the patient can turn
stimulation on.
▪
Turning stimulation back on takes the neurostimulator out
of MRI mode for those neurostimulators with that feature.
▪
If the patient control device cannot synchronize with the
neurostimulator, or cannot turn stimulation back on, or
displays a screen with the letters "POR" on it, instruct the
patient to see the clinician managing the patient's
neurostimulation system.
