Popis:	To develop an inexpensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) unit and test it for safety and efficacy.A simple MRI-compatible EMS device was developed using radiofrequency (RF) translucent electrodes at 3T. RF heating concerns were assessed using optical temperature measurements at electrode sites, during scanning of a phantom. EMS efficacy and consistency was investigated through in vivo (n = 5) measures ofThe presence of an EMS pulse did not interfere with the TA safe and inexpensive MRI-compatible EMS unit can be easily built for evaluating muscle function and metabolism within a 3T MRI scanner. Clinical applications might include evaluating skeletal muscle function in patients with limited or absent voluntary skeletal motor function or inadequate exercise capacity. J. Magn. Reson.
