AB  - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred modality for soft tissue 
      imaging because of its nonionizing radiation and lack of contrast agent. Due to 
      interactions between the MR system and active implantable medical devices 
      (AIMDs), patients with implants such as pacemakers are generally denied access to 
      MRI, which presents a detriment to that population. It has been estimated that 
      50-75% of patients with a cardiac device were denied access to MRI scanning and, 
      moreover, that 17% of pacemaker patients need an MRI within 12 months of 
      implantation [1]. In recent years, AIMD manufacturers, such as Biotronik, have 
      assessed the conditional safety of devices in MRI.
