AI Technical Summary
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technologies face challenges in safely scanning infants and young children due to higher risks of side effects such as body burns, vision loss, and nerve function loss, necessitating improved methods to manage specific-absorption rate (SAR) and noise thresholds during MR scans.
A system and method that determine the posture of an object, calculate and adjust a pulse sequence's SAR distribution model, and ensure it meets safety conditions, while also managing noise levels by adjusting pulse sequence parameters, using a combination of SAR and noise models to optimize scanning parameters for safe MR imaging.
The system ensures safe MR scans by adjusting pulse sequences to meet SAR and noise thresholds, reducing the risk of adverse effects on infants and young children, thereby extending safe medical imaging capabilities for this age group.
