Optimized radiofrequency shimming using low-heating B1+-mapping in the presence of deep brain stimulation implants: Proof of concept. by Maryam Arianpouya, Benson Yang, Fred Tam, Clare E McElcheran, Simon J Graham

“…A two-step optimization algorithm is proposed and examined for a cylindrical phantom with an implanted wire to enable 1) robust B1+ mapping with low localized heating; and 2) robust RF shimming PTX with low localized heating and good B1+ homogeneity over a large imaging volume. Simulation and experimental outcomes were compared with those obtained using an existing simulation-driven workflow for obtaining safe mode RF shim settings, and for quadrature RF transmission using a circularly polarized (CP) birdcage head coil. …”
