The Effect of Pacemakers and Defibrillators on Distortion in 2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Sequences Commonly Used in Radiation Oncology Practice—3D True Fast Imaging with Steady State Precession (TrueFISP) at 0.35T MR-Linear Accelerator (LINAC) and 3D T1 at 3T MR Simulator

Radiation
Background: We aimed to measure the pacemaker- and defibrillator-induced distortion at 0.35T and 3.0T magnetic fields. Methods: The pacemaker/defibrillator was placed at the top center of a water-filled/MagPhan phantom, followed by a T1 scan at 3T and a ...
