Comparative analysis of different hip implants within a realistic human model located inside a 1.5T MRI whole body RF
Abstract:
Temperature rise in surrounding tissues of a large orthopedic metallic implant subject to MRI is a significant point of concern today. Numerical electromagnetic and thermal modeling offers a way to model this complex problem with a sufficient degree of accuracy. We developed a workflow for realistic implant modeling, which includes an MRI coil, a multi-tissue human model, and accurately registered hip implants. We also obtained differences in the power loss density rises generated due to the presence of three hip implants placed in a phantom or a realistic human model, located inside a 1.5 T coil.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
