Current study results from the report, 'Numerical field evaluation of healthcare workers when bending towards high-field MRI magnets,' have been published. "In MRI, healthcare workers may be exposed to strong static and dynamic magnetic fields outside of the imager. Body motion through the strong, non-uniform static magnetic field generated by the main superconducting magnet and exposure to gradient-pulsed magnetic fields can result in the induction of electric fields and current densities in the tissue," scientists writing in the journal Magnetic Resonance In Medicine report. "The interaction of these fields and occupational workers has attracted an increasing...
