Experimental Validation for Temperature Rise in Human Tissue Due to Implanted Metal Plates with Screw Holes Using Translucent Solid Phantom

This paper introduced numerical estimations for SAR enhancement in human tissue due to metal plate implants with screw holes. To investigate the impact of the metal implants, we numerically evaluate SAR of human head phantom with complicated shaped metal implants. From the simulation results, SAR enhancement due to the implanted metallic plates was clearly observed at specific frequency. We also achieved temperature increase measurements using translucent solid phantoms in order to confirm validation of the numerical results.
