RF Fields in MRI: Interaction with Patients and Implants

This course provides an in-depth exploration of radiofrequency (RF) fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a focus on their impact on patient safety and interactions with medical implants. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of RF fields within the MRI environment, including the mechanisms of RF energy deposition and its physiological effects.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discuss RF and its role within clinical MRI.
  2. Demonstrate an understanding of electric fields and their relationship to conductivity through practical application and analysis.
  3. Compare and contrast SAR, SED, and B1+rms.
  4. Address widespread misconceptions associated with the RF Field.
  5. Discuss SAR reduction techniques.
