Numerical evaluation of SAR within whole-body pregnant woman models in MRI birdcage coil
Introduction To ensure that the RF energy absorbed by human subjects during an MRI procedure does not cause hazardous body temperature increase, regulatory committees have developed limits on local and whole body average SAR[1]. These limits have been proven to be reasonable for adults. However, their applicability for a pregnant woman, fetus or child needs to be further investigated. Some prev...
متن کاملSAR Comparison for Multiple Human Body Models at 1.5T and 3.0T
Introduction: In numerical calculations and SAR evaluations of RF fields for MRI, until recently most results have been obtained using models based on segmentations of the NIH Visible Human Project [e.g., 1, 2]. Although comparison of results from multiple human body models has been performed previously [3], the low resolution (5mm) may induce uncertainty, especially near tissue boundaries [4]....
متن کاملNumerical Calculation on Electromagnetic Energy Absorption in Pregnant Woman by RF Coil for MRI System
The numerical calculations including voxel human model with an anatomical structure for electromagnetic field and temperature rise induced by electromagnetic energy absorption have been widely investigated over the past dozen years or so. This paper presents the computational electromagnetic dosimetry inside an anatomically based pregnant woman models exposed to electromagnetic wave during magn...
متن کاملNumerical assessment of the reduction of specific absorption rate by adding high dielectric materials for fetus MRI at 3 T.
The specific absorption rate (SAR) is an important issue to be considered in fetus MRI at 3 T due to the high radiofrequency energy deposited inside the body of pregnant woman. The high dielectric material (HDM) has shown its potential for enhancing B1 field and reducing SAR in MRI. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of SAR reduction by adding an HDM to the fetus MRI. The feasib...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation into Effects of a Receive Array on SAR in MRI
Introduction Currently, the "hybrid" coil system, consisting of a large birdcage coil for transmission and multi-element array as the receive coil, is widely used in clinical MRI. This design can acquire images with short acquisition time and high SNR, and has particular advantage in parallel imaging. However, relatively little research is focused on safety in the "hybrid" coil environment. In ...
