This research was performed because there are several
issues experienced at higher field strengths that hinder
its clinical potential resulting in a concern of the
radiofrequency (RF) power absorption in tissue and local
temperature rising. These concerns, mainly safety, are
evaluated through electromagnetic simulations that are
compared to phantoms. However, most phantoms are not
realistic nor comparable to the anatomical detail of a
human head.
