Safety (English)
3.6.3 Radio Frequency Fields
Exposure of tissue to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields can cause significant tissue
heating.
Risk of burn injuries.
While the system is scanning the specific absorption rate might be high enough to
cause local burn injuries.
Do not approach or touch the RF Coil, or enter the RF Coil with your extremities
while the system is scanning.
Risk of potential nerve stimulations.
In case of scanning non-anesthetized animals with high slew rate gradient schemes
be also aware of potential nerve stimulations.
Risk of burn injuries to animals.
Forming body loops with e.g. the extremities may induce strong currents in the body
tissue and lead to local burn injuries.
Avoid forming loops with body parts, e.g. do not put the front paws together.
Twist ECG cables closely to minimize inductions in the ECG.
