To assess the impact of RF frequency variation on AIMD MRI RF safety, the tangential electric field and cardiac pacing lead electrode RF heating transfer functions were obtained at different frequencies: around 64 MHz for 1.5T scanners and 128 MHz for 3T scanners. The result shows that the impact on in vivo RF heating prediction due to RF frequency shift is insignificant.
