Excerpt

Studies about the safety of MRI exams for patients with pacemakers/ICDs at 1.5T have been reported [Nazarian S., et al. Annals of internal medicine 155.7 (2011): 415-424.]. Of most concern is possible heating of the lead-tips in contact with the myocardium. Little is known about the relative safety of 3T MRI exams for these patients and in vivo lead-tip heating data is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Our objective was to measure lead-tip heating directly in human cadavers with pacemakers/ICDs at both 3.0T and 1.5T. …
