Abstract In 1992 the Core Assessment Program for Intracerebral Transplantations (CAPIT)
was published providing the minimal requirements for a common patient evaluation …

During an MR procedure, most of the transmitted RF power is transformed into heat within
the patient's tissue as a result of resistive losses. Not surprisingly, the primary bioeffects …

Objectives: The study was done to determine whether patients with pacemakers could safely
undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5-Tesla (T). Background: Because of …

Purpose To assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐related heating for a
neurostimulation system (Activa® Tremor Control System, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) …

Numerous reported burn injuries have been sustained during clinical MRI procedures. The
aim of this study was to investigate the possible factors that may be responsible for such …

With the rapid growth of interventional MRI, radiofrequency (RF) heating at the tips of
guidewires, catheters, and other wire‐shaped devices has become an important safety …

The preservation of a safe magnetic resonance (MR) environment requires constant
vigilance by MR healthcare professionals, particularly with regard to the management of …

Most physicians are aware of the absolute contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). However, less familiar is the potential for an MRI-induced thermal or electrical burn …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 0.5
T in patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one …

This paper presents a novel technique for efficient evaluation of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)-induced electric fields or induced voltages in the vicinity of implanted metallic …
