[Interactions of electromagnetic fields produced by magnetic resonance with prostheses and ferromagnetic materials].

This paper accounts for coupling modes and effects that NMR-induced electromagnetic fields (B0, dB/dt, RF) produce when interacting with prostheses and ferromagnetic materials. As for prostheses specifically, the paper reports an original contribution: an in vitro test performed on the NMR equipment mod. SISCO SIS 200/183 for research purposes installed at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. Scope of this study was the evaluation of effects and malfunctionings induced by the above-mentioned electromagnetic fields on pacemakers inside a human trunk simulator exposed to NMR field intensity.
