Abstract
An electrode assembly, particularly useful in nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, for sensing a physical characteristic of a live study subject includes an electrode positioned in electrical contact with the subject for sensing the physical characteristic. The electrode assembly further includes a lead wire connected at one of its ends to the electrode and having an impedance selected to protect the study subject from heating. The impedance is also selected to have a low voltage coefficient of resistivity in order to prevent conversion of radio-frequency energy to ECG in-band energy.
