Abstract

We report three cases of implantation of the SureScan® system and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for investigating causes of pain. Although there were metal-induced artifacts on the MR images of 2 patients, the artifacts did not affect the images of structures that needed to be assessed to make the diagnosis. The SureScan® system enabled patients implanted with spinal cord stimulation devices to undergo MRI.
