High permittivity dielectric pads have become popular
for their ability to locally enhance the B_1 field in
the region of interest, especially in tissues close to
the pad. Commonly, it is challenging to have a strong
signal in regions close to the center of the head, and
it is hard to predict the effect of the use of
dielectric materials in those locations. In this work a
fast exact analytical method is proposed to compute the
electromagnetic field at the center of a model of the
human head. The method can be useful to design optimal
dielectric pads.
