In this study we investigated the effects of the load size on the maximum local SAR at 7T. Specifically, we resorted to: i) 3D full wave numerical electromagnetic simulations for analyzing a surface loop loaded with anatomic human calves models; ii) 2D analytical approach for analyzing a volume resonator loaded with homogeneous cylindrical phantoms having average tissue dielectric properties. In both cases we noticed that the maximum local SAR decreases with decreasing load size: this holds true if the RF magnetic fields (B1+) for the different load sizes are scaled so to achieve the same slice average value of 1ìT.
