Analysis of possible imperilled areas in human head during magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

The interaction of electromagnetic field and human head is modelled and the eddy currents are calculated at 64 MHz, the operating frequency of a 1.5 T MRI device by numerical finite element simulation. The complexity of the tissue structure imposes a need for explaining the modelling results in more detail. The different tissue properties assigned to every element in the model are given in the form of a table. Finally, the results are discussed.<>
