This engineering/simulation study evaluates RF applicator array designs for Thermal Magnetic Resonance (ThermalMR), which combines MRI with RF hyperthermia for brain tumor theranostics. Using EMF and temperature simulations at 7.0 T, 9.4 T, and 10.5 T, hybrid loop+SGBT dipole arrays are reported to provide superior…

This paper models extravascular MRI signal decay (R2/R2*) as a function of blood oxygenation, vessel geometry, and magnetic field strength up to 9.4 T using Monte Carlo diffusion simulations. It reports different vessel-size dependencies for Hahn-spin-echo versus gradient-recalled-echo relaxation across field…
