Abstract: Deep brain stimulators (DBSs) are an implantable medical device type that uses electrical stimulation to treat neurological problems. They are a frequently used and highly respected restorative therapy. These devices are frequently used to treat disorders such epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and disorders of movement and emotional conditions. Since security in these devices might have a direct impact on mental health, human bodies' physical, emotional, and mental well-being. In the worst circumstances, the patient may potentially pass away, for example an adversary in such devices can prevent the brain from functioning normally by introducing synthetic stimulation in the brain of a human. Targeted circuit-based neuromodulation becomes feasible via a neurosurgical method termed deep brain stimulation SS(DBS). These individuals are able to get MRIs in 1.5T horizontal bore scanners utilizing lower power pulse sequences. However, based on scant safety assessments, the use of 3T MRI in these patients is being reported more frequently. Since wireless and medical imaging technologies have developed so quickly over the past few decades, there has been an increase in the amount of radiation that people are exposed to on a daily basis. In severe cases, exposure to extremely high radiofrequency frequencies can cause bodily tissue to heat upwards and possibly even cause tissue damage. Also, the presence of implanted devices could exacerbate electromagnetic effects on surrounding tissue. Therefore, in order to develop suitable wireless safety protocols and to expand the benefits of medical imaging to a rising number of people with implanted medical devices, it is crucial to understand how RF fields interact with tissues in the presence of implants.
