The discussion includes factors related to the worst-case heating for 1) external fixation devices, 2) multi-component orthopedic devices, and 3) pacemaker or ICD leads. Modeling and experimental methods will be presented for efficient evaluation of MRI induced heating for these devices.</p> <p> <strong>Biography:</strong> <strong>Dr. Ji Chen </strong>is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Houston.
