Assessment of MR safety, e.g., Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS), relies on the accurate estimation of electromagnetic fields in complex human body models. Finite Element Methods (FEM) can use tetrahedral meshes that can model curved geometries much more accurately than voxel-based meshes. The creation of high-quality surface body models (needed to generate tetrahedral meshes), however, is complex due to the requirements for the surface models (water-tightness, correct topology, no intersections, etc.). We developed an automatic pipeline that, starting with arbitrary surface and voxel data, generates high quality, watertight, topologically correct surface models to be practically useful in FEM simulations.
