Abstract

A medical device having electrically conductive properties includes an electrically conductive member. The electrically conductive member has an anti-antenna geometrical shape. The anti-antenna geometrical shaped electrically conductive member is shaped such that currents induced in the anti-antenna geometrical shaped electrically conductive member, by radio frequency fields, offset currents induced in the medical device by the radio frequency fields.
