PM magnet mode risk near mobile MRI warrants caution; leaves open translation from phantom to clinical practice.
Does exposure to mobile MRI systems cause electromagnetic interference and influence the function of implanted pacemakers in a phantom model?
Mobile MRI vehicles can trigger magnet mode in implanted pacemakers at distances < 90 cm, indicating patients should maintain a distance of at least 1 meter.
Kishi et al. (2003) studied this question.
