In MRI system it is important that whole body SAR is controlled accurately to obtain good scanning images and to keep patients' safety. A simple transmission antenna resonance Q value measurement system has been developed using conventional RF power monitors. The system has been validated comparing with the network analyzer measurements. Based on this validation, whole-body SAR management system was integrated. Using the integrated system, accurate whole-body SAR management has been made possible.
