Spatial resolution and maximum compensation factor of two-dimensional selective excitation pulses for MRI of objects containing conductive implants
A quantitative diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be disturbed by radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity induced by the conductive implants. This inhomogeneity causes a local decrease of the signal intensity around the conductor, resulting in a deterioration of the accurate quanti...
