Importance of Fiber Optic Temperature Monitoring in MRI

The importance of fiber optic temperature monitoring in MRI cannot be overemphasized. It is evident when compared to conventional sensors like Thermocouple, for instance, placing a metal component that is susceptible to electromagnetic (EM) field can prompt swirl flows in these components and cause them to become heated up. This, thus, can cause skin burn/irritation in patients.
