Toward 7T breast MRI clinical study: safety assessment using simulation of heterogeneous breast models in RF exposure

To facilitate assessment of RF power deposition and temperature rise within the breast, we present a method to seamlessly join heterogeneous breast models with standard whole‐body models and demonstrate simulations at 7 T.
