Key Features
- Full compatibility with the MRIxViP exposure libraries (IT’IS Foundation, Switzerland)
- Full compatibility with the MRIxLAB library (IT’IS Foundation, Switzerland) of pre-computed, induced fields in the Test Field Diversity phantoms of MITS 1.5/3.0T and MITS-TT
- Streamlined GUI for fast access to all built-in tools, along with easy-to-launch Jupyter notebooks for advanced analysis
- Zip file-based export of all results (incl. plots, raw data, and study parameters) for full traceability and archiving
- Preprocessing of EM field data (up to terabytes) from numerous combinations of birdcage types, anatomies, landmark positions, postures, and implant routing paths
- Import of implant transfer functions measured with the piX system
- Assessment of different polarization schemes and exposure conditions through automated evaluation of I and Q channel excitation settings
- Efficient evaluation of up to millions of exposure scenarios with extraction of deposited power statistics
- Evaluation of deposited power/induced voltage across operating modes (normal, first level controlled)
- Computation of Tier 3 induced voltage
- Exposure limit enforcement in terms of whole-body specific absorption rate (SAR), partial-body SAR, head SAR or B1 field values
Applications
- MR safety with respect to RF-induced heating of: cardiac pacing/sensing leads, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), spinal cord stimulators (SCS), and deep-brain stimulation (DBS) systems
- Prediction of ISO 10974 Tier 3 in vitro deposited power/induced voltage for different test routings, incident field polarizations, and tissue-simulating media; fast and accurate experimental transfer function validation
