Supports 1.5-T MRI access with this novel ICD; confirms maintained performance versus no-MRI controls in RCT data.
Does 1.5-T full-body MRI affect safety and device efficacy in patients with a novel MRI-conditional ICD system compared to a waiting period without MRI?
A novel ICD system designed for full-body MRI at 1.5-T is safe and maintains electrical performance and efficacy following MRI scanning.
