MRI-SAFE HIGH IMPEDANCE LEAD SYSTEMS

摘要

Some embodiments are directed to MRI/RF compatible medical interventional devices. A plurality of spaced apart high impedance circuit segments are configured to have a high Impedance at a high range of radiofrequencies and a low impedance at a low range of frequencies. The high impedance circuit segments may comprise co-wound coiled inductors and can reduce, block or inhibit RJ-transmission along the lead system (20) during exposure to RF associated with a high-Held magnet MRI systems, while permuting passage of low frequency physiologic signals, treatments and/or stimuli. The devices can include at least one electrode.
