Safety of pacemakers and other devices In 1997, the development of MR-safe devices was initiated by J. Schwitter by teaming up with the ETH Zurich, Medtronic, and the Electrophysiology Unit of the Cardiology Division (University Hospital Zurich). This research was the first to bring an MR-conditiona

Cardiac metabolism & energy production Hyperpolarized 13C-CMR technique This technique can produce up to 10’000-times higher signal than conventional MRI. We established this technique (in collaboration with Prof. A. Comment CIBM-EPFL ) to measure non-invasively glycolysis, Krebs-cycle activity, and
