在超高场磁共振成像中,并行射频(RF)传输为比吸收率(SAR)管理带来了机遇和挑战。一方面,并行传输在调整体内电场方面提供灵活性,同时促进磁化分布控制。另一方面,它增加了能量沉积的复杂性,并可能因RF脉冲的不当设计或递送而加剧局部SAR。该研究表明,表征并行传输中射频加热所需的信息包含在局部功率相关矩阵中。建立在涉及有限数量的磁共振测温测量的校准方案,目前的工作建立了一种估计局部功率相关矩阵的方式。该矩阵的确定允许预测任意并行发射RF脉冲的温度变化。在体模中进行三个发射线圈MR实验的情况下,在小于200分钟的时间内进行功率相关矩阵的确定和验证,感应温度变化<4 ℃。进一步的优化和适应是可能的,和模拟评估潜在的可行性,在体内使用。该方法允许原位确定指示RF线圈/脉冲安全性的一般特性。
In ultra high field magnetic resonance imaging, parallel radio-frequency (RF) transmission presents both opportunities and challenges for specific absorption rate (SAR) management. On one hand, parallel transmission provides flexibility in tailoring electric fields in the body while facilitating magnetization profile control. On the other hand, it increases the complexity of energy deposition as well as possibly exacerbating local SAR by improper design or delivery of RF pulses. This study shows that the information needed to characterize RF heating in parallel transmission is contained within a local power correlation matrix. Building upon a calibration scheme involving a finite number of magnetic resonance thermometry measurements, the present work establishes a way of estimating the local power correlation matrix. Determination of this matrix allows prediction of temperature change for an arbitrary parallel transmit RF pulse. In the case of a three transmit coil MR experiment in a phantom, determination and validation of the power correlation matrix was conducted in less than 200 minutes with induced temperature changes of <4 degrees C. Further optimization and adaptation are possible, and simulations evaluating potential feasibility for in vivo use are presented. The method allows general characteristics indicative of RF coil/pulse safety determined in situ.
