Short description (English)	Compatibility of active implants with medical imaging systems - test setups and test procedures
Abstract (English)	Designing state of the art active implants require that the electronics of the implant has been developed and tested in the perspective that these implants must be compatible with current medical imaging sys-tems (MRI, CT-scan, Ultrasonic imager). In particular, components such as memory circuits and micro controllers must resume full functionality after imaging without any risk for the patient. Despite being key for successfully designing, developing and launching active implants, test setups and test procedures are not available.The aim of this project is to develop specific tools and protocols to demonstrate the compatibility of an implantable programmable drug pump currently under development.
