Abstract:Purpose
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of pulse generator small impedance variations on the overall radiofrequency (RF)‐induced heating of a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) lead in a 1.5 T MR system.
Methods
An analysis was conducted on two CRM pacing leads with different structural designs. The leads were connected to three CRM devices belonging to different technological platforms: two pacemakers and a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT‐D). All pulse generators had a small (< … Show more
