MRI‐based transfer function determination for the assessment of implant safety

Purpose We introduce a new MR‐based method to determine the transfer function (TF) for radiofrequency (RF) safety assessment of active implantable medical devices. Transfer functions are implant‐specific measures that relate the incident tangential electric field on an (elongated) implant to a scatt...
