Radiofrequency energy-induced heating during MR procedures: a review.
نویسنده
چکیده
During an MR procedure, most of the transmitted RF power is transformed into heat within the patient's tissue as a result of resistive losses. Not surprisingly, the primary bioeffects associated with the RF radiation used for MR procedures are directly related to the thermogenic qualities of this electromagnetic field. This review article discusses the characteristics of RF energy-induced heating associated with MR procedures, with an emphasis on thermal and other physiologic responses observed in human subjects.

Simultaneous radiofrequency (RF) heating and magnetic resonance (MR) thermal mapping using an intravascular MR imaging/RF heating system.
Previous studies have confirmed the possibility of using an intravascular MR imaging guidewire (MRIG) as a heating source to enhance vascular gene transfection/expression. This motivated us to develop a new intravascular system that can perform MR imaging, radiofrequncy (RF) heating, and MR temperature monitoring simultaneously in an MR scanner. To validate this concept, a series of mathematica...
متن کاملDetailing Radio Frequency Heating Induced by Coronary Stents: A 7.0 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Study
The sensitivity gain of ultrahigh field Magnetic Resonance (UHF-MR) holds the promise to enhance spatial and temporal resolution. Such improvements could be beneficial for cardiovascular MR. However, intracoronary stents used for treatment of coronary artery disease are currently considered to be contra-indications for UHF-MR. The antenna effect induced by a stent together with RF wavelength sh...
متن کاملComprehensive RF safety concept for parallel transmission MR.
PURPOSE The goal of this study is to increase patient safety in parallel transmission (pTx) MRI systems. A major concern in these systems is radiofrequency-induced tissue heating, which can be avoided by specific absorption rate (SAR) prediction and SAR monitoring before and during the scan. METHODS In this novel comprehensive safety concept, the SAR is predicted prior to the scan based on pr...
متن کاملTemperature and perfusion monitoring during RF heating of the human calf muscle
Introduction One of the main concerns for patient safety in MR imaging is radiofrequency (RF) induced tissue heating. This heating arises from the intense RF exposure involved in MR imaging and the complex, spatially heterogeneous RF absorption in the human body. Recent simulation studies indicate that even within global SAR limitations in certain regions the local SAR levels and the resulting ...
متن کاملRadiofrequency surgery--novel techniques in the treatment of ano-rectal disease.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency surgery is a method of utilizing high frequency (3.8 to 4MHz) radio wave energy to incise, excise, or coagulate tissues. Radiofrequency (RF) is a relatively new modality that is being used for ano-rectal surgeries with increasing frequency. As the RF energy is applied, frictional heating of tissues results, with cell death occurring at temperatures between 60 and 100 d...
