Keywords: Safety, Parallel Transmit & MultibandFixation of bone fractures with screws is common clinical practical including follow-up monitoring of the implantation site and of the healing process. MRI-based monitoring can be compromised by tissue heating and transmission field distortion. To overcome this challenge, this work uses parallel transmission using an optimal transmission vector. The proposed approach leverages a single EMF simulation without the implant, while the effect of implant electromagnetic scattered fields are estimated using a transfer matrix. Optimal shim vectors are computed by an optimization process using a multilevel genetic algorithm. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the transfer function driven approach.
