ABSTRACT
Hygienic evaluation covered work conditions and health state of medical personnel working with magnetic resonance tomographs. Work conditions of the medical personnel are characterized by a complex of hazards: constant magnetic field, increased intensity and hardiness of work, inadequate natural illumination, noise. The most unfavorable conditions are seen in diagnostic room during patients' preparation to the examination, where magnetic induction levels considerably exceed maximally allowable levels. The authors revealed reliable differences in functional parameters indicative of lower adaptational body resources in work with magnetic resonance tomographs. Suggestions are preventive measures to provide hygienic safety for medical personnel.

The study covered health state of medical personnel exposed to magnetic field in MRI-tomography offices. Findings are changes in functioning of cardiovascular and central nervous systems in a personnel group working with tomographs, that prove tension of adaptation processes due to occupational factors.
