Rapid safety assessment and mitigation of radiofrequency induced implant heating using small root mean square sensors and the sensor matrix Qs.

Small (<1.5 mm3 ) and low-cost (<1 €) RMS sensors embedded in an implant can provide all relevant information to predict, monitor and mitigate RF-induced heating in implants, while preserving image quality. The proposed pTx-based QS approach is independent of simulations or in vitro testing and therefore complements these existing safety assessments.
