Assessment of a PML Boundary Condition for Simulating an MRI Radio Frequency Coil

Figure 6

Measurement of homogeneity of field. (a) Acquired MR image of an oil phantom loaded within the coil. (b) Calculated -map after 40-cycle iterations with and . The homogeneity of -map is good inside, on the surface of, and outside of the coil. (c) Calculated -map after 40-cycle iterations with and . The homogeneity of -map is unacceptable. (d) Calculated -map after 120-cycle iterations with and . The intensities of the field at the left-bottom corner and right-top corner are higher than those at other corners.
