Title Magnetic resonance imaging: Bioeffects and safety concerns
 
Creator Jagannathan, N R
 
Description 341-347
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the
state-of-the-art noninvasive imaging modality in clinical diagnosis. During MRI
examination, the patient is exposed to three different forms of electromagnetic
radiation:

(i) a static magnetic field , (ii) gradient magnetic
fields, and (iii) radiofrequency (RF) fields. Each of these may cause
significant adverse bioeffects if applied at sufficiently high exposure levels.
This article describes in some detail the areas of health concern for both the
patient and the health practitioner with respect to the use of clinical MRI, in
addition to describing the potential bioeffects of electromagnetic radiations used
in this

sophisticated imaging modality.
