This paper develops and validates a cumulative transfer function (cTF) framework to improve RF-heating risk assessment for bifurcated cardiac leads in MRI, showing significant error reduction compared to single-branch approximations.

This study evaluates RF heating of bipolar epicardial leads during MRI at 0.55 T and 1.5 T, showing field strength and termination conditions affect heating patterns and safety.

This study validates finite element models for directional DBS by comparing experimental measurements with different boundary condition configurations, finding Dirichlet conditions provide higher accuracy in predicting VTA volume.

This paper investigates how MRI sequence parameters and lead configuration affect the accuracy of DBS electrode localization, finding discrepancies up to 4.99 mm between the actual tip and the MRI artifact tip.
