Abstract

A method of manufacturing an implantable electrical lead body MRI used in such applications as cardiac pacing, electrical nerve stimulation and intracardiac defibrillation applications that is biocompatible upon implantation in an animal and compatible with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner for the purpose of diagnostic quality imaging is disclosed. The method involves a relatively rigid first substrate layer, a conductive coil layer being precisely placed over the first substrate layer, a relatively soft second substrate layer over the conductive coil layer and a relatively rigid third substrate layer over the second substrate layer.
