Purpose: Bearing partially or fully metallic passive implants represents an exclusion criterion
for patients undergoing a magnetic hyperthermia procedure, but there are no specific …

This work focuses on the in silico evaluation of the energy deposed by MRI switched
gradient fields in bulk metallic implants and the consequent temperature increase in the …

The specific absorption rate (SAR) estimates the amount of power absorbed by the tissue
and is determined by the electrical conductivity and the E-field. Conductivity can be …

This paper presents an extended comparison between numerical simulations using the
different computational tools employed nowadays in electromagnetic dosimetry and …

The Douglas-Gunn method has been applied to the solution of Pennes' bioheat equation to
estimate the heating of bulk metallic prostheses caused by the energy deposition due to the …

A hybrid finite element-boundary element method, developed to solve eddy-current
problems in the frequency domain, is applied to the electromagnetic analysis of voxel-based …

Electromagnetic (EM) coupling between radio frequency (RF) coils is a common cause of
coil performance degradation and must be sufficiently reduced in the design of RF coils. The …

This paper presents and discusses a comparative numerical and experimental analysis of
the electromagnetic (EM) phenomena arising in a laboratory phantom radiated by a radio …

This paper aims at evaluating the thermal effects produced by the gradient coils on patients
carrying metallic hip prostheses when undergoing check-up in combined magnetic …

Radio frequency (RF) coils are critical devices in magnetic resonance (MR) systems for
transmitting and receiving magnetic resonance signals. However, the required high …
