1. A method for controlling radio frequency (RF) scanning attributes of an implantable medical device (IMD), comprising:

  • configuring an IMD to establish an RF connection with an external device over a predetermined frequency band based on at least one scan attribute;

    storing, in the IMD, predetermined first and second values for the scan attribute to define different first and second scan modes, respectively;

    determining a posture state of a patient, in which the IMD is implanted; and

    switching between the predetermined first and second values for the scan attribute, based on the posture state determined, to cause the IMD to switch between the first and second scan modes.
