MR Adult Brain PRE DBS - GPI Protocol

Revised - 8/7/2014
Charge as Brain WO

REGARDING ALL DBS BRAIN WO SCANS:

If the target isn’t specified in the order for pre-dbs, we have to page one of the following two people to verify if the “GPI” or “STN” or "VIM" protocol should be used:
Michael Kinsman, MD pager 12900
Antonia Gragg, PA-C pager 16703
Page one of these doctors whenever we have an order for this type of scan if “GPI” or “STN” or "VIM" is not specified in the order notes.
