Many medical implants are geometrically complex and
often feature very small structures. This research
presents an analysis of RF-induced heating based on two
examples of computational geometric simplified models.
Computational simulations were performed to at 128 MHz
with two different devices (an 80-mm Nitinol
self-expanding stent and an 80-mm stainless steel
orthopedic screw) in the ASTM phantom. For each device,
a full geometric fidelity and a defeatured model were
generated. The defeatured models allowed for significant
reduction in computational cost (up to 75%) while
showing small (less than 10%) difference of predicted
RF-induced heating compared to the full featured model.
