<scp>RF</scp>‐induced heating reduction by minimizing the external portion of the partially in and partially out medical devices under <scp>MRI</scp> at 1.5 T
Our findings show a significant reduction in RF heating by minimizing the external segment, thereby enhancing patient safety during 1.5 T MRI procedures. Although limited to four devices at 1.5 T across two applications, the extent of heating reduction may vary for others. Nonetheless, tightly winding the external segment of PIPO electrodes holds promise for improving device safety under MRI.
