    FIG 1.

    Sample iMRI before and after DBS placement. The left side of the figure shows intraoperative 3D T1 FLASH images of ceramic stylet placement in the left Vim (upper image, coronal; lower image, sagittal). The right side of the figure shows bilateral DBS electrode placement in the same patient. See “Surgical Procedure” in the Methods section for details.

    FIG 2.

    Examples of the MRI artifacts of implanted Infinity DBS electrodes. The largest artifacts were seen in T1 images (A–C) and the smallest artifacts on T2 images (D, E). Artifacts on WMn (F), FLAIR (G), and DWI (H) sequences are also shown. Arrows indicate electrodes.
