(author), van den Berg, Cornelis A.T. (author), Raaijmakers, Alexander J. E. (author)Purpose: Patients who have medical metallic implants, e.g. orthopaedic implants and pacemakers, often cannot undergo an MRI exam. One of the largest risks is tissue heating due to the radio frequency (RF) fields. The RF safety assessment of implants is computationally demanding. This is due to the large dimensions of the transmit coil...journal article 2019

Fuchs, P.S. (author), Mandija, Stefano (author), Stijnman, Peter R.S. (author), Brink, Wyger M. (author), van den Berg, Cornelis A.T. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)In this paper, we present an efficient dedicated electrical properties tomography (EPT) algorithm (called first-order current density EPT ) that exploits the particular radio frequency field structure, which is present in the midplane of a birdcage coil, to reconstruct conductivity and permittivity maps in this plane from B ^ + 1 data. The...journal article 2018

Leijsen, R.L. (author), Brink, Wyger M. (author), van den Berg, Cornelis A.T. (author), Webb, A. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)Contrast source inversion – electrical properties tomography (CSI-EPT) is an iterative reconstruction method to retrieve the electrical properties (EPs) of tissues from MR data. The method is based on integral representations of the electromagnetic (EM) field and has been shown to allow EP reconstructions of small structures as...journal article 2018
