Abstract

Electrical burns can be divided into flash or typical thermal injury and high-tension injury. The latter is usually caused by greater than 1000 volts and produces a clinically characteristic entry and exit wound. The optimal management of patients with high-tension electrical injury has evolved into a plan of urgent exploration and debridement, aggressive redebridement, and early wound closure.

9.4T human MRI: preliminary results.

This work reports the preliminary results of the first human images at the new high-field benchmark of 9.4T. A 65-cm-diameter bore magnet was used together with an asymmetric 40-cm-diameter head gradient and shim set. A multichannel transmission line (transverse electromagnetic (TEM)) head coil was driven by a programmable parallel transceiver to control the relative phase and magnitude of each channel independently. These new RF field control methods facilitated compensation for RF artifacts attributed to destructive interference patterns, in order to achieve homogeneous 9.4T head images or localize anatomic targets. Prior to FDA investigational device exemptions (IDEs) and internal review board (IRB)-approved human studies, preliminary RF safety studies were performed on porcine models. These data are reported together with exit interview results from the first 44 human volunteers. Although several points for improvement are discussed, the preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of safe and successful human imaging at 9.4T.
