Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an effective method for diagnosis of diseases. During the imaging, RF coil, which is one of the elements of the system, radiates EM (ElectroMagnetic) pulse to the human body and in response receives the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) signals emitted from the body. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in the pregnant woman due to the radiated EM energy from the RF coils. In this study, it is considered that the SAR of the abdomen of pregnant woman, especially around a fetus by numerical calculations.
