En route to broader clinical UHF-CMR studies it is
essential to gain a better insight into the interaction
of coronary stents with radiofrequency fields. Previous
explorations into the assessment of SAR and temperature
levels are valuable but constrained to the very specific
experimental setup used. Recognizing the need for a
universal SAR estimation of passive conducting implants,
this work links SAR derived from a real-time SAR
estimation to actual temperature behavior. To meet this
goal, numerical thermal simulations, E-field
measurements and RF heating experiments are performed in
coronary stents.
