A parallel transmission (pTx) implant safety testbed has been developed, that allows to investigate manifold MR safety related scenarios. The testbed can be used to investigate sensor-feedback methods, perform validation measurements of MR based current detection methods and investigate the MR safety of a variety of implants for various clinical MR settings from 1.5T to 7T. Preliminary results were acquired using a time-domain E-field probe to measure RF induced currents on a guidewire substitute at f=297 MHz and to mitigate these currents with pTx pulses.
