In Vitro Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Fragmented, Open ‐Coil, Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Leads
ConclusionsMRI may be performed safely in patients with retained lead fragments at 1.5 Tesla using the specific conditions of this study (i.e., MR Conditional). Due to possible excessive temperature rises at 3 Tesla, performing MRI at that field strength is currently inadvisable.
