12-lead ECG Recording During Cardiac MRI

This study aims to improve the quality of 12-lead ECG recordings taken during a cardiac MRI scan. The ECG is important for monitoring the heart's rhythm and for properly timing MRI image acquisition. During MRI scans, the magnetic field can distort ECG signals, making it more difficult to accurately monitor the heart. By improving ECG signal quality during MRI, we hope to enhance patient safety, improve monitoring for patients with implanted heart devices, and support MRI-guided procedures.
