Review of radiation effects of implantable medical electronic devices
With the performance improvement of the medical electronics and the progress of social development,the utilization rate of implantable medical electronic devices in China shows an increasing trend in recent years,and will maintain a growing trend in the future as population aging is accelerating.Even though implantable medical electronic devices have extremely low failure rates,the explicit clinical accidents caused by their reliability issues deserve sufficient attention in consideration of the large quantity of patients.Compared with other countries,there is lack of domestic researches on application risk of implantable medical electronic devices due to radiation therapy and diagnosis,which is reflected in not only the clinical research,but also the researches on the underlying physical damage mechanism and macro performance of the devices.Therefore,it is crucial and urgent to explore the application risk of implantable medical electronic devices caused by radiation therapy and diagnosis,which has high clinical and scientific significance.The study conducts a literature survey on the risks of medical electronic devices in the radiation environment generated by clinical treatment,summarizes the risks encountered in the aspects of total dose effect,electromagnetic compatibility and instantaneous effect,analyzes the above behaviors from the physical mechanism and perspective,and puts forward some meaningful suggestions for medical electronic engineering and clinical treatment.
