PG - 3866-3869 LID - 10.1109/EMBC.2018.8513088 [doi] AB - Despite its import as a diagnostic tool, patients with active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) are generally denied access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The complexity of MRI environments stems from a multiplicity of fields and numerous scan parameters. In order to perform a risk assessment for RF-induced malfunction, manufacturers perform electromagnetic simulations using computational human models (CHMs) to calculate RF induced energy at the AIMD ports. This work explores the impact of the CHMs on the calculation of RF-induced voltages at the RF antenna port for cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
