Abstract

Systems and methods of dynamically controlling an implanted medical device located within a patient's body in the presence of a gradient magnetic field or other external interference are disclosed. The system can include a reference model of the implanted medical device and of body tissue within the patient's body in the absence of a gradient magnetic field, and a control unit configured to dynamically control voltages or currents applied to a lead of the implanted medical device based on predicted parameters determined by the reference model.
