This study aims at exploring an alternative method (Tier 2.5) to estimate realistic in vivo E-fields at implant locations by including the directivity and length of the implants, which neglects non-relevant E-field components and too localized averaging schemes. The latest revision of the ASTM standard F2182-19e2 requires establishing a relation of the temperature increase near a metallic implant between A) the experimental measurement and B) the in vivo estimation in a representative patient population. The usage of currently standardized methods results in presumably overly conservative estimations, causing implant labels to be up to a factor 10 more restrictive.
