Abstract

See full text

In a method for imaging a body part of a patient particularly in relation to DBS where conductive elements can reduce a safe SAR level, the power in the RF pulses being delivered to the RF transmit coil is measured in real time by a unit associated with the FR transmit coil and is used to stop the supply of RF pulses to the RF coil in the event that the power exceeds a predetermined safe limit. As signal can also be transmitted to the MR control unit to shut off the imaging sequence.
