Since the introduction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic technique, the number of people exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMF) has increased dramatically. In this review, based on the results of a pioneer study showing in vitro and in vivo genotoxic effects of MRI scans, we report an updated survey about the effects of non-ionizing EMF employed in MRI, relevant for patients' and workers' safety. While the whole data does not confirm a risk hypothesis, it suggests a need for further studies and prudent use in order to avoid unnecessary examinations, according to the precautionary principle.
自从磁共振成像(MRI)作为一种诊断技术被引入以来,暴露于电磁场(EMF)的人数急剧增加。在本综述中,基于一项开创性研究的结果,该研究显示了MRI扫描的体外和体内遗传毒性作用,我们报告了一项关于MRI中使用的非电离EMF影响的最新调查,这与患者和工作人员的安全相关。虽然整体数据并未证实存在风险假说,但根据预防原则,这表明需要进一步研究并谨慎使用,以避免不必要的检查。
