The feasibility of evaluating RF heating-induced temperature elevation in a human thigh in vivo during MRI was demonstrated . RF heating-induced temperature elevation in human thighs can be assessed in vivo during MRI. Reliable knowledge of RF heating allows safe and optimal utilization of MRI techniques. RF heating during MRI could change the observed mean diffusivity value and affects clinical interpretation of the results.
