The Virtual Patient Simulator of Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation Implants

描述(由申请人提供)：我们描述了深部脑刺激(DBS)植入物患者的虚拟患者模型。据美国食品和药物管理局说，虚拟患者是患者的现实计算机化模型，允许医疗设备公司更早地测试新产品，帮助这些设备更快、更便宜地上市。我们设想，拟议的新的虚拟患者模拟器将在接受磁共振成像的DBS植入物的患者上实现射频功率剂量测量。未来植入DBS的患者可能会从拟议的虚拟患者中受益，因为我们将设计一种新的MRI射频脉冲，允许扫描DBS植入的患者，从而允许进行MRI检查，而不是更具侵入性的CT扫描。虚拟患者将是灵活和可变形的，以与神经和精神疾病相关，这将受益于DBS。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We describe the virtual patient model for patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants. Virtual patients are realistic computerized models of patients that allow medical-device companies to test new products earlier, helping the devices get to market more quickly and cheaply according to the Food and Drug Administration. We envision that the proposed new virtual patient simulator will enable radio frequency power dosimetry on patients with the DBS implant undergoing MRI. Future patients with DBS implants may profit from the proposed virtual patient by allowing for a MRI investigation instead of more invasive CT scans, since we will design a new MRI radio frequency pulse that will allow scanning patients with DBS implant. The virtual patient will be flexible and morphable to relate to neurological and psychiatric conditions, which benefit from DBS.
