متن کاملDoes 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...

متن کاملHigh Field MRI: What Are the Special Safety Risks at Higher Fields?
Introduction In the last 10 years the use of MR-scanners with a magnetic field stronger than 3 Tesla (“Ultra-high field MRI”, ie. UHF-MRI, defined as 7 9.4 Tesla in this presentation) has increased sharply, mainly driven by the fact that the three main manufacturers decided to develop 7Tesla MRI scanners for research purposes. More recently, also human 9.4 Tesla research MRI scanners are offere...
