IMPLANTED RADIO-FREQUENCY ELECTRONIC STIMULATORS

Abstract
Three types of implanted electronic stimulators are discussed and illustrated to familiarize radiologists with indications, mode of implantations, functions and roentgenographic appearances. Currently used are the: Dorsal Column Stimulator; Carotid Sinus Nerve Stimulator; and Phrenic Nerve Stimulator. They are triggered by nonimplanted radio-frequency transmitters and 9 volt batteries, which can easily be changed as needed.
