title: A non-magnetic, MR-compatible pacing catheter for clinical application in magnetocardiography.
abstract: A special bipolar pacing catheter for use in magnetocardiographic investigations has been developed. Several investigations have shown that it is fully compatible to both biomagnetic and MR imaging and thus serves as an ideal reference point for intracardial stimulation in magnetocardiography.
