Finite volume analysis of temperature effects induced by active MRI implants: 2. Defects on active MRI implants causing hot spots

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Active magnetic resonance imaging implants, for example stents, stent grafts or vena cava filters, are constructed as wireless inductively coupled transmit and receive coils. They are built as a resonator tuned to the Larmor frequenc...
