There is a paucity of data regarding the safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with abandoned epicardial leads. Few studies have reported temperature rises up to 76 °C during MRI at 1.5 T in gel phantoms implanted with epicardial leads; however, lead trajectories used in these experiments were not clinically relevant. This work reports patient-specific RF heating of both capped and uncapped abandoned epicardial lead configurations during MRI at both 1.5 T and 3 T field strengths. We found that leads routed along realistic, patient-derived trajectories generated substantially lower RF heating than the previously reported worst-case phantom experiments. We also found that MRI at the head imaging landmark leads to substantially lower RF heating compared to MRI at the chest or abdomen landmarks at both 1.5 T and 3 T. Our results suggest that patients with abandoned epicardial leads may safely undergo MRI for head imaging, but caution is warranted during chest and abdominal imaging.
