I am wondering what are the ideal MRI scan parameters for both pre and postoperative DBS surgery for use with the software LEAD-DBS. I currently have postop scans that are not ideal and LEAD-DBS is having difficulty reading them.
Our center uses a 1.5T with low SAR, but we are not opposed to increasing SAR slightly.
Thank you,
Greydon
You might want to take a look at published articles and see what scan parameters they use as a starting point. I am not familiar with the software specifically, but modifying locally accepted parameters is not a process to be taken lightly. Certain parameters (such as increasing TE) are likely to improve your lead discrimination without causing significant SAR changes, but this should be done with the assistance of competent local MR physicist help.
