@birdman518 Thought I would share some good references and related discussions: Comparison of Spinal Cord Stimulators from Boston Sci., Nevro: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/comparison-of-spinal-cord-stimulators-from-boston-sci-nevro/ ----------- What's your experience: Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Simulator?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/boston-scientific-spinal-cord-simulator/

Reference info: "• Some pacemaker and defibrillator patients need to have MRI scans to diagnose their health conditions and determine proper treatment. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a diagnostic tool that uses different types of magnetics and electromagnetic fields to image soft tissue in the body. • Boston Scientific’s ImageReady MR Conditional Systems are designed, optimized, and tested for the ability to function correctly under specified conditions during an MRI scan."
