Description

In this episode we review the case of a man with an implanted spinal stimulator device who suffered severe pain and suffering, and permanent neurological injury when he was improperly MRI scanned. We go into the details of the many ways in which patients can be seriously injured in the MRI environment. We also discuss the difference between implanted device which are absolutely contraindicated in MRI, and those newer devices which are so-called "MRI Conditional."
