Implication

Practice guideline demonstrates acute electromagnetic field hazards in patients and healthcare personnel, highlighting structured workflow protocols to ensure scan safety.

Key Points

To outline the fundamental physical hazards of magnetic resonance imaging and provide organizational recommendations to support safe clinical workflows.
Reviewed the physical principles of static, gradient, and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields utilized in clinical magnetic resonance environments.
Analyzed acute risk mechanisms, including missile effects, acoustic noise exposure, and radiofrequency-induced tissue heating across the imaging workflow.
Identified critical acute physical risks associated with strong electromagnetic fields that apply directly to general patient safety and implant evaluation.
Established practice recommendations requiring mandatory pre-scan screening for contraindications, standardized workflow protocols from referral to reporting, and documented risk-benefit analyses.
