Estimated Exposure to Static Magnetic Fields for the Staffs of NMR-Units

Does Exposure to Static Magnetic Fields Generated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanners Raise Safety Problems for Personnel?

MRI workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  While the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mT, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mT during patient setup. Over the past several years, our laboratory has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and h...

The effect of 17 days exposure to static magnetic fields on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the male rat

Power stations produce a range of magnetic fields more than 20 mT which are harmful to those working or living around them. Several investigators have reported an increased health risk due to exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMF) at 50 and 60 Hz. Several studies have been reported especially with increased tumor incidence, effects on reproduction and development, and neural and behavio...

Guidelines on limits of exposure to static magnetic fields.

بررسی میزان مواجهه شغلی با میدان های مغناطیسی پایا واثرات بهداشتی آن در مراکز تصویر برداری تشدید مغناطیسی

 Background and aim:  Magnetic resonance imaging as one of the best medical scanning technique is considered to be the most important sources of static magnetic fields. The staffs of MRI ´s units frequently exposed to these static magnetic fields. This study aims to determine the occupational exposure level to mentioned field and its related health effects in MRI´s units.    Methods:  The occup...
