MRI Bioeffects, Safety,
and Patient Management
Editors -Frank G. Shellock,
Ph.D. and John V. Crues, M.D. (© 2014, 780 pages; ISBN 978-0-9891632-0-0,
hardbound) is a comprehensive, authoritative textbook on the
health and safety concerns of MRI technology that contains contributions from
more than forty internationally respected experts in the field. This textbook
includes both theoretical and practical information and serves as the
definitive resource for radiologists and other physicians, MRI technologists,
physicists, scientists, MRI facility managers, and others.
The text begins
with a discussion of basic MRI physics and then proceeds to a description of
the bioeffects of static, gradient, and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields
as well as the risks associated with acoustic noise. It then discusses the use
of MRI during pregnancy, the design of an MRI facility to support safety, the
procedures to screen patients and other individuals, and the management of
patients with claustrophobia, anxiety, or emotional distress. Other chapters
cover the safety of MRI contrast agents, the use of ferromagnetic detection
systems, techniques for physiological monitoring, the unique safety needs of
interventional MRI centers, and the administration of sedation and anesthesia
during MRI. Detailed descriptions covering the proper management of patients
with metallic implants and complex electronically activated devices, such as
cardiac pacemakers and neuromodulation systems, are included. MRI safety
policies and procedures are presented for hospitals/medical centers, outpatient
facilities, childrens hospitals, and research facilities. Finally, MRI
standards and guidelines are provided for the United States, Europe, Canada,
and Australia.
