Abstract
In this paper, a quick and efficient approach is proposed to estimate the in-vivo RF induced heating of small medical implants under MRI procedure. The method is based on scaling the in-vivo incident electric fields. Numerical and experimental studies demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
