Daftar Isi:
- The datasets reported in the figures of the article "In silico evaluation of the thermal stress induced by MRI switched gradient fields in patients with metallic hip implant", published on Phys. Med. Biol. 64 245006, 2019. This work focuses on the in silico evaluation of the energy deposed by MRI switched gradient fields in bulk metallic implants and the consequent temperature increase in the surrounding tissues. The results show that the gradient coils can generate local increases of temperature up to some kelvin when acting without radiofrequency excitation. Hence, their contribution in general should not be disregarded when evaluating patients’ safety.
- The results here reported have been developed in the framework of the 17IND01 MIMAS Project. This project has received funding from the EMPIR Programme, co-financed by the Participating States and from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
