RF induced voltages / RF rectification

If the implant contains non-linear circuit elements, the radiofrequency (RF) field can lead to a potential which is high enough to cause these elements to conduct, resulting in a rectified voltage.

The measurements of RF induced voltages and RF rectification are conducted as a research service according to the requirements described in ISO/TS 10974.

MR:comp has been officially accredited to conduct tests of RF induced voltages and RF rectification according to ISO/TS 10974 Clause 13: Measurement of induced electrical potential.
