摘要:
An ECG electrode is provided which can be placed within the direct path of x-rays during an imaging scan without inducing an x-ray induced erroneous current. The ECG electrode has a support element with a conductive post on one side electrically connected to a conductive plate on the other side. A dissipative anti-static element in or near the ECG electrode dissipates static electricity which forms on the surfaces of the insulating components in the ECG electrode. The dissipative anti-static element may be, for example, a slightly conductive property of the bulk material used to make the insulating material, or a conductive coating added to the insulating material surfaces. The dissipative anti-static element may also be incorporated in the clamp attached to the conductive post. In a further embodiment, an ion blower aimed at the ECG electrode may be used to remove static electricity.
