title: A fuse for magnetic resonance imaging probes.
abstract: In a research environment, a magnetic resonance imaging system's manufacturer-supplied protection against excessive rf power deposition in the sample is often compromised. This paper presents a widely applicable scheme, based on a commonly available fuse, that simply and effectively limits the average rf power into a magnetic resonance imaging probe.
