Table 7. Specific absorption rate and 10g averaged rms E-field results of Nina and MARTIN at 1.5T using Tx/Rx head coil.

Nina in 1.5 T using Head Tx/Rx coil (Head centered, No implant) MARTIN in 1.5T using Head Tx/Rx coil (Head centered, No implant) MARTIN in 1.5T using Head Tx/Rx coil (Head centered, with a VNS implant)
Fields were averaged to 2μT at the center of the coil [87] Head averaged SAR (W/kg) 0.21 0.20 0.21
Whole-body averaged SAR (W/kg) 0.04 0.05 0.05
Whole-body maximum 10gSAR (W/kg) 0.48 0.49 0.71
Normalization factor (V) 13.71 13.95 14.04
Fields were averaged to 3.2 W/kg in the head (Scanner head scanning limit) [83] Maximum 10g rms E-field (V/m) 176.54 165.45 281.05
Normalization factor (V) 53.94 55.17 55.26
