The invention describes a system, method, and means for an MRI guidewire that can be visible on an MRI, can act as an antenna and receive MRI signals from surrounding subject matter, and can allow the use of multiple interventional tools without removal of the guidewire from a subject.

The invention describes a system, method, and means for an MRI transseptal needle that can be visible on an MRI, can act as an antenna and receive MRI signals from surrounding subject matter to generate high-resolution images and can enable real-time active needle tracking during MRI guided transseptal puncture procedures.

An electronic, miniaturized, pocket-size device having a multiplicity of tri-electrode sets (note FIGS. 3 and 6A) for monitoring and storing EKG or EEG signals, one being positive and the other negative, with the third being a possible signal opposite to the signal received sent in the opposite direction (to the electrode), lessening background noise. Each is connected to one or more amplifiers joined in a central amplifier which breaks up the signals into two separate, related signals, one being the difference in the bias voltages of the positive and negative voltages and the second being the amplified difference of the signals. The first is sent to a voltage sensitive detector, which sends a signal out when this difference becomes sufficient, the detector being set for triggering when an electrode becomes detached or otherwise defective, as in even an abnormal EKG or EEG the voltages will not be greatly different. The second signal is sent to a filter and then to appropriate detection equipment for monitoring the condition of the EKG or EEG, for example a peak detector, grounded needle meter, analog-to-digital converter, noise indicator, outside jack, etc. The peak detector is connected to an indicator and to the analog-to-digital converter to keep track of when peaks are reached to get a "print out" record of them.

A band stop filter is provided for a lead wire of an active medical device (AMD). The band stop filter includes a capacitor in parallel with an inductor. The parallel capacitor and inductor are placed in series with the lead wire of the AMD, wherein values of capacitance and inductance are selected such that the band stop filter has a Q with the resultant 3 dB bandwidth being in the megahertz range. The Q of the inductor may be relatively maximized and the Q of the capacitor may be relatively minimized to reduce the overall Q of the band stop filter to attenuate current flow through the lead wire along a range of selected frequencies. In a preferred form, the band stop filter is integrated into a TIP and/or RING electrode for an active implantable medical device.

601 41, 601 44

A method of processing a raw acceleration signal, measured by an accelerometer-based compression monitor, to produce an accurate and precise estimated actual depth of chest compressions. The raw acceleration signal is filtered during integration and then a moving average of past starting points estimates the actual current starting point. An estimated actual peak of the compression is then determined in a similar fashion. The estimated actual starting point is subtracted from the estimated actual peak to calculate the estimated actual depth of chest compressions. In addition, one or more reference sensors (such as an ECG noise sensor) may be used to help establish the starting points of compressions. The reference sensors may be used, either alone or in combination with other signal processing techniques, to enhance the accuracy and precision of the estimated actual depth of compressions.

An energy management system facilitates the transfer of high frequency energy coupled into an implanted abandoned lead at a selected RF frequency or frequency band, to an energy dissipating surface. This is accomplished by conductively coupling the implanted abandoned lead to the energy dissipating surface of an abandoned lead cap through an energy diversion circuit including one or more passive electronic network components whose impedance characteristics are at least partially tuned to the implanted abandoned lead's impedance characteristics.
