نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) estimation method based on the cylindrical fields scanning technique. The aim of this study is to achieve experimentally an estimation of whole-body averaged SAR in human models due to plane wave exposure using the radiation-field scanning technique. In this paper, the validity of the proposed methods is investigated using Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations for the purpose of design and development of the experimental system. The calculated wholebody averaged SAR based on the proposed method is compared with that obtained by conventional estimation methods.

متن کاملAverage SAR Constrained Local RF Shimming
Introduction Achieving given homogeneity and SAR constraints in RF shimming process is an important problem in high field MRI. There are different studies in the literature which dealt with the optimization of these parameters by using non-convex optimization techniques. In a previous work whole body SAR constrained RF shimming problem was solved in order to achieve whole slice transmit homogen...
متن کاملPatient-specific SAR models and in vivo validation
Introduction For parallel transmission, traditional safety concepts need to be re-assessed, as the local specific absorption rate (SAR) becomes a limiting safety constraint [1] that depends on the pulse design as well as on the individual patient anatomy. Whereas the whole-body SAR can be monitored during the scan, the local SAR cannot be measured in clinical practice. Instead, numerical simula...
