A Numerical Alternative to MR Thermometry for Safety Validation of Multi‐Channel RF Transmit Coils
ABSTRACT Purpose This study proposes a numerical technique to estimate peak local specific absorption rate (SAR) uncertainty of multi‐channel RF coils during the process of safety validation as an alternative to experimental temperature and electric‐field measurements, and demonstrates its use to enable human studies at 10.5 T.

Autonomy for MRI Field Cameras: Synchronization, Self‐Calibration, and Sequence Detection
ABSTRACT Purpose This work aims to provide a workflow for operating NMR field probes in MR scanners independently of pulse programming, scanner TTL trigger pulses and dedicated calibration sequences. Methods An independent timing system and limited prior knowledge about relative probe positions enable synchronous field measurement, probe position ...

Convective, Diffusive Effects on Magnetic Fields and Eddy Current in Compulsators [PDF]
Compulsators are being designed at ever increasing energies and energy densities and are required to deliver energy to the load in less than 10 ms. These require high speeds of operation and dense spacing of conductors.

Mesoscale Whole‐Brain T2*‐Weighted and Associated Quantitative MRI in Humans at 10.5 T
ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate mesoscale whole‐brain T2*‐weighted (T2*w) MRI at 10.5 T, quantify R2* relaxation rate and magnetic susceptibility (χ), and evaluate T2*w contrast at such high field strength. Methods Multi‐echo GRE (ME‐GRE) data were collected in healthy adults at 0.5 mm isotropic resolution at 10.5 T.

Validating Numerical Simulations to Support Experimental Testing of MRI Gradient-Induced Heating of Passive Implants. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose Numerical simulations can be adopted to aid the evaluation of the interaction between switched gradient fields and metallic implants and estimate the possible temperature increase. Anyway, an analysis of the consistency of their prediction with experiments is lacking, differently from what can be found for exposure to radiofrequency ...
