Figure 5

Plots of (a) the geometry of the problem with a whole-body model in a birdcage coil at 128 MHz, and the temperature distribution on a coronal plane through the subject at the end of the exam (when temperature is highest) as calculated (b) with no allowance for temperature-dependent local perfusion using a full finite difference algorithm and (c) the fast IR-based method proposed here, and then with temperature-dependent blood perfusion using (d) a full finite difference algorithm and (e, f) the fast IR-based method with Δt = 30s (e), and Δt = 120s(f).
