Magnetic resonance imaging: bioeffects and safety concerns.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the state-of-the-art noninvasive imaging modality in clinical diagnosis. During MRI examination, the patient is exposed to three different forms of electromagnetic radiation: (i) a static magnetic field, (ii) gradient magnetic fields, and (iii) radiofrequency (RF) fields. Each of these may cause significant adverse bioeffects if applied at sufficiently high e...
متن کاملPotential bioeffects of ultrasonic destruction of microbubble contrast agents.
t is well known that microbubble destruction can occur uring contrast echocardiography, primarily by acoustic avitation (1). The propensity of microbubbles to undergo his process when exposed to ultrasound depends on physcal properties of both the bubbles themselves and the ltrasound beam. Higher rarefactional peak amplitude (a easure of ultrasonic acoustic power) and lower frequencies ause gre...
متن کاملCan Transabdominal Scan Predict a Short Cervix by Transvaginal Scan?
Background. To determine whether transabdominal screening can be used to screen women with short cervix on transvaginal scan. Methods. The study was done between 18 and 20 weeks of gestation. Transabdominal scan was done and cervical length was measured. Transvaginal scan was also done and cervical length was measured. An attempt was made to find out whether transabdominal scan be used to predi...
متن کاملMRIsafety.com. MRI safety, bioeffects and patient management
Various types of intravascular and other types of coils, stents, and filters have been evaluated for safety with MR systems. Several of these demonstrated magnetic field interactions in association with scanners. Fortunately, the devices that exhibit positive magnetic field interactions typically become incorporated securely into the vessel wall primarily due to tissue ingrowth within approxima...
متن کاملOn modeling the tissue response from ultrasonic B-scan images
The authors model tissue as a collection of point scatterers embedded in a uniform media, and show that the higher-order statistics (HOS) of the scatterer spacing distribution can be estimated from digitized radio frequency (RF) scan line segments and be used in obtaining tissue signatures. The authors assume that RF echoes are non-Gaussian, on the grounds of empirical/theoretical justification...
