Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety Click here to print this page The Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Implants and Devices: 2010 Edition (10 digit ISBN 0-9746410-6-5, 13-digit ISBN978-0-9746410-6-5) is an indispensable textbook for radiologists, MRI technologists, and facility managers. This internationally acclaimed series includes updated guidelines and recommendations from the latest information in the peer-reviewed literature as well as documents developed by the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the American College of Radiology (ACR), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the Medical Devices Agency (MDA), and the Institute for Magnetic Resonance, Safety, Education and Research (IMRSER). Features of the 2010 Edition include patient screening forms in English and Spanish and guidelines for scanning patients with electronically-activated devices. -Section I presents fully updated safety guidelines and recommendations. -Section II has the latest information for implants, devices, and materials tested for the MRI environment. -Updated information pertaining to MRI Contrast Agents and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF)is included along with websites to monitor emerging findings. -An Appendix provides website information for more than 200 biomedical companies to facilitate finding the latest company information for implants and devices. “The List” now has information for thousands of objects, including implants tested at 3-Tesla. Item Number: 03-MRI2010 Description: Reference Manual 2010 ed. The Magnetic Resonance Procedures: Health Effects and Safety book is the most authoritative and comprehensive reference text on MR bioeffects and safety. Written by 15 well-known experts in the field, it contains both theoretical and practical information. This timely text addresses emergent issues related to use of MR procedures and discusses concerns such as the effects of static magnetic fields, radiofrequency-induced heating, acoustic noise, the safety of metallic implants, the use of MR in pregnant patients, the safe use of contrast agents, and handling patients with claustrophobia. In the wake of recent government demands for increased patient safety and proper patient management in out-patient facilities and hospitals, along with the rapidly expanding use of MR procedures, this book is particularly important and essential for all MR healthcare workers.
