Knowledge about the relationship between B1+rms and SAR is beneficial for the MRI RF safety community, consisting of academic investigators, MRI and implant vendors, and regulatory bodies. While implant manufacturers have already started to shift device-labelling form SAR to B1+rms, there is not yet available a systematic evaluation of their relationship. In this study, we aim to close this gap by presenting a systematic methodology for numerical estimations of an entire exposure-scenario matrix, including various human anatomical models, imaging positions, and MRI body-coil geometries.
