Comparison Between Broadband and Personal Exposimeter Measurements for EMF Exposure Map Development Using Evolutionary Programming

This exposure-assessment study compares RF-EMF exposure maps produced using a broadband meter versus a personal exposimeter and aims to correct personal exposimeter readings to match broadband-based maps. The authors report that LOS/NLOS-specific correction factors reduce discrepancies, particularly improving LOS…

Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields. The situation in Greece.

This exposure assessment study reports extensive EMF measurements and exposure mapping across multiple workplace settings in Greece in the context of implementing EU Directive 2013/35/EU. The authors report that most assessed workplaces did not exceed occupational limits, and often did not exceed general public…

Radiofrequency Pulmonary Vein Isolation in a Patient with Dextrocardia With Situs Inversus Totalis.

This case report describes radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation in a 67-year-old man with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis. The procedure successfully isolated all pulmonary veins using 3D mapping with intracardiac echocardiography guidance. No procedural complications were reported, and the authors…

Ultrafast volumetric B1 (+) mapping for improved radiofrequency shimming in 3 tesla body MRI.

This engineering/clinical MRI methods study evaluated ultrafast volumetric DREAM B1+ mapping to refine patient-adaptive RF shimming at 3T. In 20 patients and three volunteers, a multi-slice adaptive RF shimming approach reduced flip-angle deviations and improved B1+ homogeneity compared with central-slice-based…
