Synopsis

Significant RF power deposition in the body causing local specific absorption rate (SAR) in the form of hotspots is an important safety concern at 3T (128 MHz) and, even more so, at 7T (298 MHz). In this work, we expand the proof-of-concept of artificial intelligence based real-time MRI safety prediction software (MRSaiFE) to 10 body models. We show that SAR patterns can be predicted with a mean squared error (MSE) of less than 1% and a structural similarity index of above 90% for 7T brain and above 85% for 3T body MRI.
