Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. MRI is safe, but if something goes wrong, it can go very wrong. Most reported cases of MRI-related injuries and the few fatalities that have occurred have apparently been the result of failure to follow safety guidelines or of use of inappropriate or outdated information related to the safety aspects of biomedical implants and devices. To prevent accidents in the MRI environment, therefore, it is necessary to revise information on biologic effects and safety according to changes that have occurred in MRI technology and with regard to current guidelines for biomedical implants and devices. This review provides an overview of and update on MRI biologic effects, discusses new or controversial MRI safety topics and issues, and presents evidence-based guidelines to ensure safety for patients and staff.
磁共振成像(MRI)是一种利用磁场和无线电波来生成人体内部器官和组织详细图像的技术。MRI是安全的,但如果出了问题,可能会非常严重。大多数报告的与MRI相关的损伤案例以及发生的少数死亡事件,显然都是由于未遵循安全指南,或者使用了与生物医学植入物和设备安全方面相关的不恰当或过时信息所致。因此,为防止MRI环境中发生事故,有必要根据MRI技术的变化以及当前生物医学植入物和设备指南,修订有关生物效应和安全的信息。本综述概述并更新了MRI的生物效应,讨论了新的或有争议的MRI安全主题和问题,并提出了基于证据的指南,以确保患者和工作人员的安全。
