Association between Anesthesia Management and Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Image Quality in Patients Scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Aim: To investigate magnetic resonance image quality and the number of motion artifact-related repeated sequences based on anesthesia or sedation management during preoperative MR imaging for DBS surgery. Material and Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent DBS procedures at the hospital of Ondokuz Mayis University, between April 2011 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, and diagnosis information were recorded for each case. Patients were grouped into general anesthesia, sedation, no sedation groups. The evaluation of magnetic resonance images was performed by a specialized in neuroradiology. The radiologist classified the image quality as good, moderate, or poor based on artifacts resulting from unwanted motion. Results: A total of 127 patients, out of 190 patients, were included in the study. There were no significant differences in image quality based on anesthesia/sedation method and airway management (p>0.05). No significant differences were observed in the number of repeated sequences when compared based on anesthesia/sedation method and airway management (p>0.05). Conclusion: General anesthesia, sedation, or no sedation during preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in patients with movement disorders did not result in significant differences in image quality and the number of sequences requiring repetition.
