Abstract

The invention relates to an implanted electrode compatible with MRI. The implanted electrode comprises a flexible insulated conduit, at least one contact, at least one connector and a spiral wire, wherein the flexible insulated conduit is provided with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the contacts are arranged on the outer surface of the first end of the flexible insulated conduit, the connectors are arranged on the outer surface of the second end of the flexible insulated conduit, the spiral wire is located in a cavity of the insulated conduit, or located in the wall of the insulated conduit or wound outside the conduit, and the contacts and the connectors are electrically connected through the spiral wire. The spiral diameter of at least one part of the spiral wire is larger than that of the other part of the spiral wire, so that the spiral wire is of a variable spiral diameter structure. The structure can change the electrical parameter performance, under an RF magnetic field of MRI, of the wire, and therefore the heating risk, caused by the RF magnetic field, on the contacts is reduced. The invention further relates to a manufacturing method for the implanted electrode compatible with MRI.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an implanted electrode for medical use and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to an implanted electrode compatible with magnetic resonance imaging technology and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Compared with other imaging techniques (such as X-ray, CT, etc.), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has significant advantages: MRI is clearer, has a high resolution for soft tissues, and There is no ionizing radiation damage to the human body. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging technology is widely used in the clinical diagnosis of modern medicine. Today, it is estimated that at least 60 million cases worldwide are examined using MRI technology every year. [0003] When MRI works, three magnetic fields come into play. A high-intensity uniform static magnetic field B0, a gradient magnetic field that can be adjusted to any direction, and a radio frequency (RF) magnetic field for exciting nucle...
