At ultra-high fields, the assessment of radiofrequency (RF) safety presents several new
challenges compared to low-field systems. Multi-channel RF transmit coils in combination …

MRI is a valuable clinical and research tool for patients undergoing deep brain stimulation
(DBS). However, risks associated with imaging DBS devices have led to stringent …

Abstract The Virtual Family computational whole-body anatomical human models were
originally developed for electromagnetic (EM) exposure evaluations, in particular to study …

Access to MRI is limited for patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants due to safety
hazards, including radiofrequency (RF) heating of tissue surrounding the leads …

Purpose MRI may cause brain tissue around deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes to
become excessively hot, causing lesions. The presence of extracranial loops in the DBS …

Patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants may be subject to heating during MRI
due to interaction with excitatory radiofrequency (RF) fields. Parallel RF transmit (pTx) has …

Patients suffering from neuronal degenerative diseases are increasingly being equipped
with neural implants to treat symptoms or restore functions and increase their quality of life …

There is a growing concern in the population about the effects that environmental exposure
to any source of “uncontrolled” radiation may have on public health. Anxiety arises from the …

This paper reviews the field of multiple or parallel radiofrequency (RF) transmission for
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Currently the use of ultra-high field (UHF) MRI at 7 tesla …

Patients with implanted medical devices such as deep brain stimulation or spinal cord
stimulation are often unable to receive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is because …
