Dermoid cyst of the pancreas: a case report with literature review.

Pancreatic dermoid cysts represent a rare entity with 35 cases described in the world literature, including the present one. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult, with definitive diagnosis usually taking place intra-operatively. We report the case of a 63 year old male with a symptomatic, 6 cm cystic mass in the body of the pancreas.

MR imaging-related heating of deep brain stimulation electrodes: in vitro study.

Background And Purpose: Recent work has shown a potential for excessive heating of deep brain stimulation electrodes during MR imaging. This in vitro study investigates the relationship between electrode heating and the specific absorption rate (SAR) of several MR images.

Methods: In vitro testing was performed by using a 1.

Neurostimulation systems for deep brain stimulation: in vitro evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging-related heating at 1.5 tesla.

Purpose: To assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-related heating for a neurostimulation system (Activa Tremor Control System, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) used for chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Materials And Methods: Different configurations were evaluated for bilateral neurostimulators (Soletra Model 7426), extensions, and leads to assess worst-case and clinically relevant positioning scenarios. In vitro testing was performed using a 1.
