ImageReady™ MRI Guidelines for Boston Scientific Deep Brain Stimulation Systems
How to Use this Manual
The MRI Guidelines apply to four types of Boston Scientific DBS Systems:
• Fully Implanted Lead‑Only System
○ A fully implanted Lead‑Only DBS System is a booted Lead System comprised of Lead(s), Lead
Boot(s), and a Burr Hole Cover or alternative method of securing Leads (see Table 2 for scan eligible
components).
• Externalized Lead‑Only System
○ An externalized Lead‑Only DBS System is comprised of Lead(s) and, optionally, a Burr Hole Cover or
alternative method of securing Leads (see Table 2 for scan eligible components).
• Vercise Genus Full System
○ A Vercise Genus Full DBS System is comprised of Leads, Lead Extensions, Vercise Genus Stimulator,
and a Burr Hole Cover or alternative method of securing Leads (see Table 4 for scan eligible
components). The Vercise Genus Stimulators are an MR Conditional family of Stimulators.
• Vercise Gevia Full System
○ A Vercise Gevia Full DBS System is comprised of Leads, Lead Extensions, Vercise Gevia Stimulator,
and a Burr Hole Cover or alternative method of securing Leads (see Table 5 for scan eligible
components). The Vercise Gevia Stimulator is an MR Conditional Stimulator.
See the "MR Conditional System Description" section of this manual for full definitions and eligible components of each
system.
To use this manual:
1. Read this manual in its entirety before performing an MRI scan on a patient implanted with any component of the
Boston Scientific DBS System.
2. Determine the type of DBS System to be scanned.
3. Determine the isocenter of the scan.
4. Determine the transmit coil type.
5. Determine the scan conditions per Table 1 and then refer to the appropriate sections of this manual.
