Prediction of EM Field in a Simple Homogenous Phantom at UHF MRI Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs): Methodology in Data Generation

Puntos clave

Enhanced prediction accuracy of electromagnetic field distribution was achieved using a physics-informed neural network.
The trained neural network significantly reduces computational time needed for specific absorption rate calculations in 7T MRI.
Training data was generated from electromagnetic simulations incorporating Maxwell's equations for improved fidelity.
Leveraging physics in neural networks suggests a promising avenue for enhancing safety in ultra-high-field MRI applications.

Resumen

Motivation: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) calculation is the most crucial safety analysis at ultra-high-field (UHF) 7T MRI. Current SAR computation methods rely on computationally intensive simulations, which are often impractically long for real-time clinical use. Goal(s): This study aims to develop a physics-informed neural network (PINN) capable of predicting electromagnetic (EM) field distribution at 7T MRI. Approach: A neural network is trained using data generated from EM simulations. One of Maxwell's equations is implemented as a physical constraint within the neural network to improve the accuracy of the field prediction. Results: Introducing physics into neural networks enhances EM field prediction. Impact: This study proposes a deep learning-based method for EM field prediction, which, by significantly reducing the computational time, can enable safer and more accessible 7T MRI.
