Summary: This study investigates the implications of initial head positioning on local and whole-head SAR in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results show that positional mismatches between actual head positioning and safety models cause SAR underestimation. Additionally, head positioning also affects the sensitivity of local and whole-head SAR.

An investigation into the dependence of virtual observation point-based specific absorption rate calculation complexity on number of channels

Stephan Orzada et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the number of channels and the computational burden for SAR calculation using virtual observation point-based SAR compression. The results show that the number of virtual observation points increases with the number of channels, and the computational burden increases exponentially with the number of channels. Therefore, it is necessary to use the best compression algorithms when dealing with high channel counts.

Deep learning-based local SAR prediction using B-1 maps and structural MRI of the head for parallel transmission at 7 T

Sayim Gokyar et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to predict subject-specific local specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions of the human head for parallel transmission (pTx) systems at 7 T. A multichannel 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was proposed, designed, and demonstrated to predict local SAR maps as well as peak-spatial SAR (ps-SAR) levels. The results showed that the proposed method had smaller prediction errors and could make predictions within a second, making it clinically useful.

Body-loop related MRI radiofrequency-induced heating hazards: Observations, characterizations, and recommendations

Xiaolin Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that different body-loop postures can lead to significant differences in RF-induced heating, with an increase in RF-induced heating when body-loop size increases and contact area decreases. Additionally, proximity between the body-loop center and the RF coil center can also increase RF-induced heating. It is recommended to use safe patient postures during MR examinations, use insulation materials to prevent loop formation, or place the body loop outside the RF transmitting 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.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility of estimating specific absorption rate (SAR) in real time MRI using convolutional neural networks on simulated MR images at 3T and 7T.
