The use of metallic coaxial cables in Magnetic Resonance
Imaging could induce local high Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). Optical fiber link could be a promising
alternative to coaxial cables for MRI to ensure patient
safety. Here, the conversion of the Radio-Frequency
magnetic field into an electric signal by electro-optic
effect was demonstrated and characterized. A waveguide
crystal is used together with an endoluminal coil to
demonstrate the ability of such transducer to perform a
deported characterization of Radio-Frequency magnetic
field at 3T. The results show a good agreement with
theoretical values and a minimum magnetic detectable
field of pT order.
