Synopsis

Specific absorption rate (SAR) values can be obtained using MRI data to calculate the electrical conductivity via Electric Properties Tomography (EPT) and by indirectly obtaining the electric field by the B1+ field. However, only using B1+ will result in incorrect SAR values. In this work, we propose the calculation of a tissue-specific correction factor to mitigate the inaccuracy of SAR.
