Validation/Comparison Example | Reference(s) | Quantity | Simulation results of this study | Published experimental data |
---|---|---|---|---|
2 1.5 T Full body, orthopaedic nail implant |
[43–45] | Maximum Temperature Increase after 900 Seconds | ~11°C Observed at implant ends (3–4 cm depth) in VHP-Female model–see Fig 5. | ~8.25°C measured for Gel Phantom (4 cm depth) for the same implant–see Fig 3 |
3 3 T Full body |
[46,47] | B1+ Field Maps in Body Planes | Between 0–2 μT depending on body location–see Fig 3. Agreement with experimental field topology | Between 0–2 μT depending on body location–see Fig 4. |
4 165 MHz Upper Extremity |
[50] | Maximum Temperature Increase after 139 seconds | 6.0°C | 6.6°C measured 8°C simulated–see Fig 5 |
