MRI compatibility is rapidly becoming a baseline expectation for active implantable medical devices. But for systems with long conductive leads, RF-induced heating remains one of the most iteration-intensive and development-limiting challenges.
In this e-book, TTP’s Neurotechnology team outlines an efficient computational modelling approach that can provide a faster, more scalable route to evaluating lead safety, reducing reliance on repeated phantom testing while maintaining regulatory rigour.
What you’ll learn
- How Tier 3 assessment works within the ISO 10974 framework
- Why transfer function determination is often the true development bottleneck
- How frequency-domain modelling enables faster lead iteration with fewer prototypes
- Where simulation can replace exploratory testing, and where validation remains essential
- How to de-risk MRI safety earlier and accelerate progress toward MRI-conditional labelling
