Development and validation of a tissue-equivalent test environment for detection of malfunctions in active medical implants caused by ionizing radiation

Development and validation of a tissue-equivalent test environment for detection of malfunctions in active medical implants caused by ionizing radiation

Many patients in radiotherapy carry active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) such as pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). The influence of the ionizing radiation can lead to failures in the device function. This study presents a tissue-equivalent test environment to investigate the in...
