In-vitro mapping of E-fields induced near pacemaker leads by simulated MR gradient fields

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers is generally contraindicated but some clinicians condone scanning certain patients. We assessed the risk of inducing unintended cardiac stimulation by measuring electric fields (E) induced near lead tips by a...
