    摘要: Implantable medical leads and systems that include lead utilize reflection points within the lead to control radio frequency current that has been induced onto one or more filars within the lead. The radio frequency current may be controlled by the reflection points to block at least some of the radio frequency current from reaching an electrode of the lead and to dissipate at least some of the radio frequency current as heat on the filar. Controlling the radio frequency current thereby reduces the amount that is dissipated into bodily tissue through one or more electrodes of the lead and reduces the likelihood of tissue damage. The reflection points may be created by physical changes such as to material or size in the filar and/or in insulation layers that may be present such as an inner jacket about the filar and an outer jacket formed by the body of the lead.

    摘要: A system, comprising a lead configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a brain having a housing defining a longitudinal axis and a circumference, a ring electrode that encircles an entirety of the circumference of the lead housing disposed at a first axial position along the longitudinal axis of the lead housing and a plurality of electrodes disposed at respective different positions around the circumference of the lead housing, wherein the plurality of electrodes are disposed at a second axial position different than the first axial position along the longitudinal axis of the lead housing; a user interface; and a processor configured to present on the user interface at least one view of a representation of the lead and to receive user input via interaction with the at least one view for defining stimulation for delivery by the lead.
