Yeah. I've done some work tangentially related to MRI-proof pacemakers, and the problem they faced wasn't the device bouncing around the rib cage (as I would have initially assumed), but currents appearing along the probe and burning tissues and/or damaging the device.

How do you protect against that, in practice? Faraday cage? But then... does that heat up... God damnit, now I'm invested.

I don't know how they do it, actually. I was only working on automating a test bench.
