In pediatric magnetic resonance imaging, infants are exposed to rapid, time-varying gradient magnetic fields, leading to electric fields induced in the body of infants and potential safety risks (e.g., peripheral nerve stimulation). In this work, the induced electric fields by the small x, y, z gradient coils in an infant model were numerically evaluated at different model positions. It was found that the induced electric fields in most tissues exceeded the basic restrictions of the ICNIRP 2010 guidelines.
