Impact of Patient Body Posture on RF-Induced Energy Absorption by Orthopedic Plates

<div>Comparison of pSAR<sub>1g</sub> for various orthopedic plates inside the human models with different postures for four imaging landmarks at 1.5T. (A1)–(A3): Comparison of the pSAR<sub>1g</sub> for the orthopedic plates with a length of 140 mm. (B1)–(B3): Comparison of the pSAR<sub>1g</sub> for the orthopedic plates with a length of 120 mm. (C1)–(C3): Comparison of the pSAR<sub>1g</sub> for the orthopedic plates with the length of 100 mm. (D1)–(D3): Comparison of the pSAR<sub>1g</sub> for the orthopedic plates with the length of 80 mm.</div>
