Synopsis

EEG provides valuable clinical information, but EEG nets produce artifacts in MRI and CT images, preventing these modalities from being combined in typical clinical practice. We tested whether a new MR-compatible EEG net, called the R-Net-MR-IT, could produce high-quality clinical and research images. We assessed image quality in CT and MR images on a phantom with a conventional net, R-Net-MR-IT, and with no net. We then performed the same comparison in humans, as well as fMRI scans. Our results show that the R-Net-MR-IT enables acquisition of high quality CT and MR images, with minimal artifact from EEG hardware.
