MULTI-FREQUENCY HIGH ELECTRIC FIELD SYSTEMS FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SAFETY TESTING OF MEDICAL DEVICES
An efficient and improved electric field generator is developed to generate uniform and high strength electric fields at multiple frequencies, designed to be used in the evaluations of radio frequency (RF) related hazards for implantable medical devices (IMDs) under MRI.
This system can replace the current RF-coil/ASTM phantom configuration for device testing. It can potentially be included in the standard of ASTM-F2182 for implantable device safety evaluation.
