Prevalence of Complications in Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Combined with Neurophysiologic Monitoring

We have corroborated the history of safe use for electrodes with 1.5 m cable in a 3T MRI scanner and demonstrated their use. Nevertheless, heating cannot be excluded, as it depends on location and cable placement. When leaving electrodes in place during ioMRI, risks and benefits have to be carefully evaluated for each patient.
