The aim of this study is to present a prototype of the
implantable temperature sensor which will be used in
animal studies to emulate the situation of a patient
with an Active Implantable Medical Device inside the MRI
and investigate possible tissue damage due to the RF
induced tissue heating. The prototype records
temperature information during MRI scan and transmits
the desired data wirelessly, while implant is still
inside of the body, to the remote without any surgery
operation.
