Claim Text:
1. A medical system comprising a pulse generator electrically coupled to a lead configured to be implanted into a patient's body and having at least one distal stimulation electrode, the lead comprising: at least one insulated conductive filer electrically coupled to the distal stimulation electrode; a jacket that is an outermost layer of the medical lead for housing said conductive filer where the jacket has an elastomeric polymer doped with at least one dielectric material different than the elastomeric polymer wherein the at least one dielectric material different than the elastomeric polymer establishes at least one path distributed along at least a portion of a length of the lead through said jacket for guiding induced radio frequency (RF) energy from said filer to the patient's body; and a conductive material filling a space between said insulated filer and said jacket.
