Title: ALTERNATIVE SENSING METHOD FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DEVICE
Abstract: A method is provided, the method comprising detecting a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interference signal and enabling at least one preventive measure to protect an implantable medical device from interference by the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interference signal. The method also comprises switching from a first sensing mode more affected by the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interference signal to a second sensing mode less affected by the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interference signal.
