An electrically conductive link (connection lead) or transmission line
(13) including at least one transformer (41, 42; 83) for coupling at
least two lead segments (51, 52; 81, 82) of the line (13) and for
providing safety of the line when guided through a RF field. These lines
are especially provided for use with a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
system and for connecting an electrical device (10), especially a
catheter or another invasive device for the examination of a human body,
to a connection unit (12) such as, for example, a power supply or control
unit outside the examination zone (1) without imposing the risk of
disturbances and/or destruction of the electrical device and/or the
connection unit and of burning a patient (P) by a heating of the line
when guided through RF fields.
