Description
Magnetic Resonance Procedures: Health Effects and Safety is the first authoritative text on MR procedures and its associated health and safety concerns written by noted radiologists, physicists, and scientists with expertise in the field. It contains both theoretical and practical information.
This timely text presents emergent issues related to MR imaging and discusses concerns such as radiofrequency-induced heating, the use of MR in pregnant patients, pre-MR procedure screening, the safe use of contrast agents, ad the management of patients with claustrophobia. It also contains a sample pre-MR screening form; comprehensive safety information for over 700 implants, devices, ad materials; a list of medical devices and products for interventional MR procedures; and a summary of peer-reviewed MR safety studies.
In the wake of recent government demands for increased patient safety in hospitals, along with the rapidly expanding use of MR procedures, this book is particularly important. It is the definitive resource for information on the safety aspects of magnetic resonance procedures.
