Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can image quasistatic volume current densities.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) current imaging has potential applications in MRI safety, power absorption, and hyperthermia analysis.
  • Developing methods to visualize RF current distribution is crucial for understanding these phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of using MRI to image RF current density at the Larmor frequency.
  • To explore RF current imaging for dielectric and conductivity-dependent tissue contrast.
  • To assess the relevance for MR power absorption, safety, and hyperthermia analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Inducing RF currents synchronously with an MRI pulse sequence.
