Background:

Generic human models are used to estimate worst-case specific absorption rate (SAR) in MRI, leading to conservative radiofrequency (RF) sequence design and safety margins.
Conservative safety margins may limit the full potential of high-field MRI systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop patient-specific voxel models for accurate prediction of patient SAR values in MRI.
To improve the accuracy of safety margin predictions for high-field MRI applications.

Main Methods:

Utilized image registration techniques to warp tissue information from high-resolution libraries to patient coordinates.
Created patient-specific voxel models by registering library images to patient pilot scans.
Proposed a voxel analytical metric for patient library construction and model selection.

Main Results:

The developed patient-specific models accurately predicted regions of elevated 1 g SAR within the patient.
Demonstrated the capability of the method to predict safety margins with high accuracy.

Conclusions:

Patient-specific voxel models enhance the accuracy of SAR prediction in high-field MRI.
This personalized approach can maximize the safe use of RF power in clinical MRI settings.
