- Abstract
The article discusses a study that examines the effect of reducing specific absorption rate (SAR) while increasing cerebral signal-to-noise ratio during magnetic resonance imaging. An experiment concludes that using high-dielectric pads around the human head can reduce the required input radiofrequency power by 50 percent. It further reveals that simple and low-cost method for improving quality and safety magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be achieved through the use of dialectric pads.
