Abstract

Abstract: Clinical dilemmas arise when patients with a non‐magnetic resonance (MR) conditional pacemaker are required to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We encountered a pacemaker patient with debilitating non‐motor symptoms of Parkinson׳s disease, who required an MRI prior to deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. MRI was performed safely without adverse events despite the presence of a conventional pacemaker.
