Abstract

Purpose: Underestimation of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in MRI poses potential risks to patients and in particular individuals with compromised thermoregulation. EU standards imposes a head SAR limit of 3.2 W/kg as SAR effects are negligible at up to 3 W/kg. We developed a phantom and protocol where heating due the RF pulse is measured and verified against scanner displayed SAR.
