The Magnetic Resonance Procedures: Health Effects and Safety
book is the most authoritative and comprehensive reference text on MR bioeffects and safety.
Written by 15 well-known experts in the field, it contains both theoretical and practical information. This timely text addresses emergent issues related to use of MR procedures and discusses concerns such as the effects of static magnetic fields, radiofrequency-induced heating, acoustic noise, the safety of metallic implants, the use of MR in pregnant patients, the safe use of contrast agents, and handling patients with claustrophobia. In the wake of recent government demands for increased patient safety and proper patient management in out-patient facilities and hospitals, along with the rapidly expanding use of MR procedures, this book is particularly important and essential for all MR healthcare workers.
