An MRI-Compatible High Frequency AC Resistive Heating System for Homeothermic Maintenance in Small Animals.

To develop an MRI-compatible resistive heater, using high frequency alternating current (AC), for temperature maintenance of anaesthetised animals.An MRI-compatible resistive electrical heater was formed from narrow gauge wire connected to a high frequency (10-100 kHz) AC power source. Multiple grad...
