Abstract

Stimulation of vagus nerve by means of internal implants is increasingly being used nowadays in the treatment of patients with epilepsy and several other diseases of the central nervous system. However, when necessity arises to examine a patient implanted with vagus nerve stimulator in a magnetic-resonance machine, radiologists face a number of issues concerning safety of the patient as well as of the neurostimulating device. Present article summarizes specific conditions of magnetic-resonance imaging in patients with vagus nerve stimulating system, and also illustrates clinical observations carried out by the authors.
