Using Altair Feko to reduce heating during MRI for Deep Brain Stimulation
Using Altair Feko TM to reduce heating during MRI for Deep Brain Stimulation SUCCESS STORY: smart City Customer Profile Dr. Simon J. Graham, is a Magnetic Imaging Resonance (MRI) Physicist and Scientist at the Department of Medical Biophysics at the Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) affiliated with the University of Toronto, Canada. His research program develops and demonstrates the application of new technologies for brain imaging. Dr. Clare McElcheran, who recently completed her Ph.D. under Dr. Graham’s guidance, led a recent project at the lab involving the development of ways to try and safely image patients with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Implanted devices cause a safety concern due to heating at exposed tips of long conductive leads. The project objectives focus on t
