The electromagnetic scattering problem posed by the interaction of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) RF
field with a medical implant in tissue is explored. An exact formulation is computationally expensive since the
domain includes all of the body tissue, the implant, the air region, and the surfaces of the RF coil conductors. It is
shown that a division of the problem into two parts makes it more amenable to a numerical computation. In the first
part, the RF field in the presence of body tissue only is found, and in the second part, the RF field that has already
been computed is used as the incident field in the presence of the implant. Taking this incident field approximation
into account, a domain simplification approximation is presented. A nonhomogeneous tissue layer surrounding the
implant is considered and it is shown that then it is no longer necessary to integrate over all of the body tissue, and
that the errors introduced due to this approximation are small enough to be considered as negligible. Numerical
results validating the approximations are also presented.
