Radio-Frequency Safety Assessment of Stents in Blood Vessels During Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the need for high-resolution detailed anatomical modeling to correctly estimate radio-frequency (RF) safety during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RF-induced heating near metallic implanted devices depends on the electric field tangential to th...
