RF exposure at level of 3.2 W/kg head SAR may result
in higher than 20 W/kg of SAR10g in the Siemens 3T Connectom scanner.
Fig. 2. (a) The coil loaded by two phantoms, i.e., PVP-based with
electrical properties close to human brain and oil-based phantom with small
losses, as well as by human model. (b) Birdcage coil overview. The scanner inner
bore diameter was 560 mm; total coil length was 450 mm. The coil was shielded
by a metal enclosure with inner diameter of 610 mm and length of 1590 mm. (c) Close-up
cross-sectional view of the high resolution human head model.
