Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate an image of the body. Though it is considered safe because it does not emit ionizing radiation, the strong magnetic fields produced by the MR scanner require unique safety considerations. The American College of Radiology (ACR) has provided guidance documents on MR safety since 2002 and recently updated and reorganized these documents into the ACR Manual on MR Safety. This article discusses the physics of MR imaging, the evolution of MR safety recommendations, and MR safety procedures.
磁共振成像(MR 成像)使用磁场和无线电波来生成身体的图像。尽管它被认为是安全的,因为它不发射电离辐射,但磁共振扫描仪产生的强磁场需要独特的安全考虑。美国放射学院(ACR)自 2002 年以来就提供了磁共振安全指南文件,并最近将这些文件更新和重新组织为 ACR 磁共振安全手册。本文讨论了磁共振成像的物理学、磁共振安全建议的演变以及磁共振安全程序。
