RF induced heating is an important safety concern as the
number of patients implanted with medical devices
increases and the use of 3T MRI becomes more prevalent.
We hypothesize that the combination of Magnetic
Resonance Thermometry (MRT) and multiphysics simulation
would provide a more accurate assessment of MR safety
than current in vitro test methods, and could ultimately
be used to evaluate RF induced heating of devices in
vivo. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the
feasibility of this approach by comparing temperature
probe measurements with MRT and multiphysics simulation
of RF induced heating near a metallic device.
