The program for the
ISMRM safety study group meeting will be dedicated to the results of
a recent study performed in Europe by order of the European
Commission to study the impact of the proposed European Directive
for occupational exposure (2004/40/EC) on the usage of MRI in the
clinical practice. The study is performed by the University of
Zurich and the Imperial College in London on 4 clinical sites, and
the results will be presented by the scientists from these
institutes. The study includes the following aspects: |
Understanding of the
existing and future medical procedures with MR scanners
Identification of worst case scenarios during usage of MR scanners
Systematic measurements of the EMF during these procedures
Calculation of the corresponding exposures in terms of current
density and SAR |
|
|
|
The program in fact
covers several important new research aspect for the safety of MR in
general, such as: |
The
practical use of the system in the clinical practice,
The measurement of the stray fields of the applied electromagnetic
fields, and
The calculation of the exposure in the human
body via the simulation studies on realistic human models. |
