Thermal Tissue Damage Model Analyzed for Different Whole‐Body SAR and Scan Durations for Standard MR Body Coils

The results are found to be consistent with the history of safe use in MR scanning, but not with current safety guidelines. For future safety concepts, we suggest to use thermal dose models instead of temperatures or SAR. Special safety concerns for patients with impaired thermoregulation (e.g., the elderly, diabetics) should be addressed.
