摘要:
A method for calculating a local specific energy absorption rate (SAR) on basis of an electric parameter and the mass density of a segmented geometry of an object and a magnetic field vector distribution of a radio frequency (RF) antenna. The values of the electric parameter and the mass density are pre-determined values, while the magnetic field vector distribution is estimated by a magnetic field mapping method based on a magnetic resonance (MR) scan. The magnetic field mapping method based on a magnetic resonance scan can be a B 1 mapping method. The invention also relates to a magnetic resonance system by means of which SAR calculation can be done in a relatively short period of time. The invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions for calculating a local specific energy absorption rate (SAR) according to the above mentioned method. The SAR calculation used in the above mentioned method, system and program is done in the relatively short period of time and as such is practicable in a clinical setting.
摘要:
A magnetic resonance method of electric properties tomography imaging of an object includes applying an excitation RF field to the object via a coil at a first spatial coil position (402), acquiring resulting magnetic resonance signals via a receiving channel from the object, determining from the acquired magnetic resonance signals a first phase distribution and a first amplitude of a given magnetic field component of the excitation RF field of the coil at the first coil position (402), repeating these steps with a coil at a second different spatial coil position (404), to obtain a second phase distribution, determining a phase difference between the first and second phase distribution, determining a first and a second complex permittivity of the object, the first complex permittivity comprising the first amplitude of the given magnetic field component and the second complex permittivity comprising the second amplitude of the given magnetic field component and the phase difference, equating the first complex permittivity and the second complex permittivity for receiving a final equation and determining from the final equation a phase of the given magnetic field component for the first coil position (402).
