Heart of the System: Designing MRI-Compatible Pacemakers Using Simulation

Pacemakers have long been a marvel of medical engineering, but for decades, they had one fatal flaw: MRI machines. Strong magnetic fields and radiofrequency (RF) energy can heat leads, distort images, or cause dangerous malfunctions. That’s no longer acceptable. Today, engineers must design pacemakers to be MRI-safe, and simulation is their most powerful tool. The […]
