ABSTRACT
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.
