Depending on the type of Medtronic neurostimulation system your patient has, he or she may be eligible for an MRI scan anywhere on the body or on just the head. Use the patient programmer to determine MRI eligibility. There are three different patient programmers.
The MyStim™ programmer is used with Restore™ family systems.
Refer to the Real-time MRI Patient Eligibility Form for instructions on using the patient programmer to activate MRI Mode.
Real-time MRI Patient Eligibility Form for Restore Family Systems
The Intellis™ patient programmer is used only with the Intellis SureScan™ MRI system.
Refer to the Real-time MRI Patient Eligibility Form for instructions on using the patient programmer to activate MRI Mode.
