Influence of Metallic Shielding on Radio Frequency Energy-Induced Heating of Leads With Straight and Helical Wires: A Numerical Case Study

Heating induced by radio frequency (RF) energy may appear in tissues near implants located in a human subject undergoing magnetic resonance imaging examination. Lead shielding was proposed to reduce such heating below dangerous levels. In this article, we employed 3-D electromagnetic (EM) and therma...
