Brain Imaging

996
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

10.5K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Design
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Clinical electrical stimulation systems like pacemakers and deep brain stimulators (DBS) are widely used therapies.
  • A major limitation is their incompatibility with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to lead-induced tissue heating.
  • This heating poses a significant risk of injury during MRI procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel lead design for electrical stimulation systems.
  • To mitigate the antenna effect of implanted leads during MRI scans.
  • To reduce tissue heating and improve MRI compatibility for patients with medical implants.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized computational modeling and experimental measurements to optimize lead wire design parameters.
  • Developed a prototype based on simulation results.
  • Tested the prototype in a gel phantom during an MRI scan to measure tissue heating.

Main Results:

  • The novel lead design demonstrated a significant reduction in the antenna effect.
  • Experimental measurements showed a three-fold decrease in tissue heating compared to a commercial deep brain stimulator lead.
  • The results validate the effectiveness of the proposed design in reducing MRI-related heating.

Conclusions:

  • The developed lead design effectively reduces tissue heating during MRI scans.
  • This innovation can enable more patients with implanted electrical stimulation devices to safely undergo MRI.
  • The findings have the potential to improve diagnostic capabilities for a broader patient population.
