Performance and safety assessment of an integrated transmit array for body imaging at 7 T under consideration of specific absorption rate, tissue temperature, and thermal dose

Thomas M. Fiedler et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of an integrated body-imaging array for 7 T with 32 RF channels, compared to a clinical 3 T body coil. The results showed that in some cases, achieving similar B-1(+) homogeneity at 7 T may require higher SAR or lower duty cycle.

Evaluation of specific absorption rate and heating in children exposed to a 7T MRI head coil

Shaihan J. Malik et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature distributions resulting from pediatric exposure to a 7T head coil. By using electromagnetic and thermal solvers, it was found that children experience higher SAR than adults for the examined head transmit coil. Additionally, thermal simulations suggest that core temperature changes could occur in smaller subjects.

Natalie Schoen et al.

Summary: This study presents electromagnetic simulation setups to analyze the effects of respiration on B-1(+) and E-fields, local SAR, and safety limits for 7T cardiac imaging. The results show that respiration affects the distribution of B-1(+) and the peak spatial SAR, emphasizing the need to consider respiratory motion in the safety analysis of RF coils applied to the human thorax.

MRI-Related Heating of Implants and Devices: A Review

Lukas Winter et al.

Summary: During MRI scans, metallic medical implants can pose additional risks due to induction of currents and heating effects, but advancements in safety assessment methodologies have made the exclusion of implants as a contraindication for MRI no longer necessary. With increasing prevalence of medical implants in aging societies, active safety management and risk mitigation measures are needed to address potential risks.

Radiofrequency-induced heating of broken and abandoned implant leads during magnetic resonance examinations

Aiping Yao et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the additional risks of broken and abandoned leads during MR examinations, with a focus on the impact of wire breaks on in vivo lead-tip power. Results showed a significant enhancement of deposited lead-tip power for broken leads compared to intact leads, reaching up to 16-fold in realistic clinical exposures. The presence of nearby intact or broken wires reduced this enhancement factor to less than 7-fold over the intact lead.

Radiofrequency-induced heating of broken and abandoned implant leads during magnetic resonance

Aiping Yao et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the potential additional risks of broken and abandoned leads in RF-induced heating of AIMD during MR examinations. Results show that the enhancement of deposited lead-tip power for broken leads compared to intact leads can be significantly higher in different scenarios. Presence of nearby intact or broken wires can reduce this enhancement factor, highlighting the importance of considering lead design and clinical routing when assessing risks for MR examinations.
