From 7T to 10.5T: B1+, SAR and Temperature Distribution for Head and Body MRI

Jinfeng Tian¹, Devashish Shrivastava¹, John Strupp¹, Jay Zhang¹, Thomas Vaughan¹

Spurred by the success of 7T whole-body MRI, whole-body MRI systems of 9.4T or above were installed or will be installed to push the boundary. In this abstract, the RF performance of a 16-ch TEM array at 7T and 10.5T are compared with FDTD simulation.
