An implantable electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body having a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal length； a plurality of electrodes disposed along the distal end of the lead body； a plurality of terminals disposed along the proximal end of the lead body； and a plurality of conductors electrically coupling the plurality of electrodes to the plurality of terminals. To reduce or redistribute current induced in the conductors during an MRI procedure, an internal conductive structure, such as a dummy coil or hollow metal tube, or non-therapeutic electrodes may be provided. Alternatively or additionally, a multi-layer region of the conductors may extend beneath the electrodes or terminals or the electrodes or terminals may vary in size or surface area.
