METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FABRICATING LEADS WITH CONDUCTORS AND RELATED FLEXIBLE LEAD CONFIGURATIONS
摘要
MRI/RF compatible leads include at least one conductor, a respective conductor having at least one segment with a multi-layer stacked coil configuration. The lead can be configured so that the lead heats local tissue less than about 10 degrees Celsius (typically about 5 degrees Celsius or less) or does not heat local tissue when a patient is exposed to target RF frequencies at a peak input SAR of at least about 4 W/kg and/or a whole body average SAR of at least about 2W/kg. Related leads and methods of fabricating leads are also described.
