Measuring RF-induced currents inside implants: Impact of device configuration on MRI safety of cardiac pacemaker leads.
Radiofrequency (RF)-related heating of cardiac pacemaker leads is a serious concern in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent investigations suggest such heating to be strongly dependent on an implant's position within the surrounding medium, but this issue is currently poorly understood. In this study, phantom measurements of the RF-induced electric currents inside a pacemaker lead were perf...
متن کاملCardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Magnetic Resonance-Conditional Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices: What Can We See?
Patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been commonly withheld from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures because of magnetic resonance (MR) safety concerns. In response to this clinical need, MR-conditional pacemakers and ICDs have been developed to allow these patients access to MRI. The potential interactions between MRI and recently developed M...
متن کاملIssues with radiofrequency heating in MRI
To the Editor: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been increasing in patients with implanted devices, such as cardiac pacemakers and neurostimulators, which used to preclude the use of MRI owing to patient safety and device malfunction concerns.(1-6) In the past few years, however, more of these implant devices have become MR-compatible and can function properly du...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in patients with cardiac pacemakers: era of "MR Conditional" designs
Advances in cardiac device technology have led to the first generation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conditional devices, providing more diagnostic imaging options for patients with these devices, but also new controversies. Prior studies of pacemakers in patients undergoing MRI procedures have provided groundwork for design improvements. Factors related to magnetic field interactions and...
متن کاملCardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators: in vitro magnetic resonance imaging evaluation at 1.5-tesla.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) performed at 1.5-Tesla on current generation pacemakers and ICDs to identify safe parameters for MRI examinations. METHODS Pacemakers (Identity ADx XL DR+ 5386 and Identity ADx DR + 5380 generators; 1688T/52-cm atrial and ventricular leads) and ICDs (Atlas + V-243, Epic + V-236, and Epic + HF V-350 generators;...
