This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) aims to conduct a rigorous assessment of radiofrequency (RF) heating effects on deep brain stimulation (DBS) and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) during 0.55 T MRI scans. The $1,164,876 award to Northwestern University will span 3 years and focus on developing validated computational models to forecast RF exposure levels, determining RF heating for DBS and CIED devices in adult and pediatric subjects, and formulating tables to anticipate tissue temperature increases based on imaging metrics. The University of Michigan will receive a $69,241 sub-award to support this research. This project directly responds to the urgent need for thorough, evidence-based knowledge on the RF safety of low-field MRI systems, which offer cost and siting advantages but lack critical data on device interactions. The research findings will help ensure these scanners can be leveraged safely and effectively to expand MRI access for the over 12 million Americans relying on active implantable medical devices.
