Background— The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a strategy for safe
performance of extrathoracic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in non–pacemaker-dependent …

Aims Left atrial catheter ablation of the pulmonary veins (PV) has evolved as an important
therapeutic option for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate the …

Objectives : Our aim was to establish and evaluate a strategy for safe performance of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5-T in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (…

Background Recent studies suggest that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain
and spine may safely be performed in patients with pacemakers (PMs) and implantable …

Objective Epistaxis is a common clinical problem, and the majority of bleedings can be
managed conservatively. However, due to extensive and sometimes life-threatening bleeding, …

Aims The number of low-field (<0.5 T) magnetic resonance (MR) scanners installed worldwide
is increasing due to a favourable cost and safety profile and improved patient comfort …

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible cumulative effects of repeated
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations on pacemaker systems in patients with …

Objectives The aims of this study were to develop magnetic resonance (MR)–guided freehand
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using a near-real-time interactive MR platform in an open …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of dual-source parallel radiofrequency (RF) transmission
with patient-adaptive local RF shimming on image quality, image contrast, and diagnostic …

We report the clinical, genetic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 11
German patients with heterozygous E245D, D339Y, R350P and L377P desmin mutations …
