Computational study of the effects of orthopedic plates on gradient‐induced peripheral nerve stimulation under MRI using electromagnetic and neurophysiological modeling
Orthopedic implants can substantially lower the activation thresholds of nearby nerves, with some thresholds approaching the PNS limits defined in IEC 60601-2-33 for MRI gradient field. This finding indicates a reduced safety margin for patients with implants, highlighting the need for more comprehensive safety assessments.
