It has been shown that Electrical Properties (EPs) of
biological tissues can be derived from MR-based B1
measurement. A strong appeal for these Electrical
Property Tomography (EPT) methods is to estimate
real-time and subject-specific local SAR induced by RF
pulsing. In order to investigate the feasibility of
EPT-based SAR estimation in predicting possible local
temperature change, following previously proposed EPT
protocols, in this preliminary study, induced local SAR
in a saline phantom has been estimated for a heating
sequence at 7T, as compared to measured temperature
changes using MRI Thermometry based on the proton
chemical shift (PRF).
