Safe MRI‐Compatible electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) system

Abstract

PURPOSE: To develop an inexpensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) unit and test it for safety and efficacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A simple MRI-compatible EMS device was developed using radiofrequency (RF) translucent electrodes at 3T. RF heating concerns were assessed using optical temperature measurements at electrode sites, during scanning of a phantom. EMS efficacy and consistency was …
