Modeling radio-frequency energy-induced heating due to the presence of transcranial electric stimulation setup at 3T.

CONCLUSION: Simulation results predicted that the electrode and gel geometries, skin electrical conductivity, and position of the temperature sensors have a significant impact on the estimated temperature rise. Therefore, these factors must be considered for reliable assessment of ΔT in subjects undergoing an MRI examination in the presence of a tES setup.
