PurposeTo illustrate the potential for high permittivity materials to be used in decreasing peak local SAR associated with implants when the imaging region is far from the implant. MethodsWe performed numerical simulations of a human subject with a pacemaker in a body-sized birdcage coil driven at 128 MHz with and without a thin (5mm) shell of material of high electric permittivity around the head. ResultsFor a shell with relative permittivity of 600, the maximum specific energy absorption rate averaged over any 1g of tissue near the pacemaker was reduced by 73.5% for a given B-1 field strength at the center of the brain. ConclusionAlthough further study is required, initial simulations indicate that strategic use of high permittivity materials may broaden the conditions under which patients with certain implants can be imaged safely.
