Synopsis

Keywords: Safety, Whole BodyIn this article, we build an automatic pipeline for patient-specific assessment of SAR. Given a target MR image and an atlas comprising a reference image and a model, an MR-shaped model can be obtained by registering the AIM with the target MR and applying the resulting displacement fields to the corresponding ABM. The results of the analysis on simulated data showed that the proposed automatic pipeline was reliable and accurate both in terms of SAR distribution and the similarity of the patient-specific models.
