The first generation of magnetic resonance conditional pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators has finally arrived in clinical practice after many years of development. These devices have been optimized to properly function within magnetic fields of 1.5 T and ensure safe operation in controlled environments. Further progress is needed to develop a new generation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conditional devices that can operate in higher powered MRI machines (3 T) which produce clearer images.
第一代磁共振条件性起搏器和植入式心脏复律除颤器经过多年的发展,终于在临床实践中应用。这些设备已经过优化,可以在 1.5T 的磁场中正常工作,并确保在受控环境中安全运行。需要进一步发展新一代磁共振成像(MRI)条件性设备,使其能够在产生更清晰图像的更高功率 MRI 机器(3T)中运行。
