Biological effects and health implications in magnetic resonance imaging

High magnetic field induced changes of gene expression in arabidopsis

“…These data provide evidence for the perturbation of metabolic processes in the presence of strong magnetic fields and may be useful for guiding future research designed to calibrate safe exposure standards for living organisms [5]. …”

Characterization of ferromagnetic or conductive properties of metallic foreign objects embedded within the human body with magnetic iron detector (MID): Screening patients for MRI

“…The strong magnetic field of MRI systems represents a serious risk of injury for patients with ferromagnetic or conductive metallic fragments embedded in their bodies. There is a risk of dislodgement and/or excessive heating due to the applied radiofrequency . As a result, it is common safety practice for all patients scheduled for MRI to be screened for the presence of ferromagnetic foreign bodies and medical implants.…”

Impact of repetitive exposure to strong static magnetic fields on pregnancy and embryonic development of mice

“…The electromagnetic waves from the RF coils are generally considered to bear the greatest risk, primarily since they can elevate the core body temperature or lead to localized tissue heating. The second most significant risk in MRI arises from the use of pulsed field gradients, which have an increased potential to interact with the human body . Of the fields associated with MRI, the static magnetic field is viewed as the most innocuous, since it generally triggers only very weak biological responses .…”
