Electrically conducting implants with small and complex geometrical structures such as stents require electric field measurements with high spatial resolution to assess local MRI safety. So far, E-fields have been measured with dipole antennae that are limited in spatial resolution to several millimeters. In this study, we present an optical setup for 2D spatially resolved E-field measurements of medical implants with high spatial resolution. Resonant excitation of metallic NiTi stents with varying lengths is assessed and the sub-millimeter spatial resolution of the setup is demonstrated.
