Applying fiber-optics on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors is aimed at practical
usability over conventional SPR sensors. Recently, field localization techniques using …

This paper reviews the field of multiple or parallel radiofrequency (RF) transmission for
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Currently the use of ultra-high field (UHF) MRI at 7 tesla …

Background MRI induced heating on PM leads is a very complex issue. The widely varying
results described in literature suggest that there are many factors that influence the degree …

Radiofrequency (RF)‐related heating of cardiac pacemaker leads is a serious concern in
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent investigations suggest such heating to be …

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 …

Purpose The presence of implanted electronic devices with conducting leads and electrodes
are contraindicated for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), denying many patients its …

Cardiac radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has received substantial attention for the treatment of
multiple arrhythmias. In this scenario, there is an ever-growing demand for monitoring the …

Clinical electrical stimulation systems—such as pacemakers and deep brain stimulators
(DBS)—are an increasingly common therapeutic option to treat a large range of medical …

Patients with deep brain stimulation devices highly benefit from postoperative MRI exams,
however MRI is not readily accessible to these patients due to safety risks associated with …

Purpose To evaluate the local specific absorption rate (SAR) and heating around retained
cardiac leads during MRI at 64 MHz (1.5 T) and 127 MHz (3T) as a function of RF coil type …
