Patients with non-labelled implants are often ineligible for MRI. Sometimes non-labelled implants are scanned by some hospitals based on literature and empirical insights, power constraints are abided to avoid tissue heating. Using an accelerated simulation method we demonstrate a proof of concept workflow to obtain the patient-specific SAR increase for multiple patient and implant positions within 2-3 hours. This workflow uses two orthogonal X-ray images to construct a 3D model of the implant which is inserted in a human model. The method enables more accurate scanning constraints and, a more informed risk vs benefit analysis for each patient.
