Description: In magnetic fields 3 Tesla and higher, employed simultaneous multiple RF excitation sources pose increasing challenges regarding patient safety. Local elevations in temperature measured in terms of the specific absorption rate (SAR) is a concern which could cause human tissue damage. SAR is highly relevant to body tissues which differ among individuals and body types in terms of quantity and distribution. Due to this, SAR investigations are conducted through electromagnetic simulations. For this purpose, personalized virtual models for each individual are required to be generated in efficient manners.
This work establishes the ground for generating such virtual models through computationally fast and efficient methods.
