Keywords: Safety, SafetyRF-induced SAR distributions around epicardial lead were compared with endocardial lead in the 29-month-old and 6-year-old pediatric anatomical models with cardiac pacemakers. Numerical simulations were performed with a 1.5-T birdcage coil and the pacemaker models segmented from the age-matching patient CT data. In both pediatric models, the simulation with the endocardial lead overall showed lower SAR values compared to that with the endocardial lead. The screw-like electrode attached to the endocardial lead may have resulted in much higher SAR values, compared to the tined-type electrode of the epicardial lead.
