Magnetic Resonance Procedures: Health Effects and Safety is the first authoritative text on MR procedures and its associated health and safety concerns written by noted radiologists, physicists, and scientists with expertise in the field. It contains both theoretical and practical information.

This timely text discusses emergent issues related to MR imaging and concerns such as shielding, the safe use of contrast agents, and management of patients with claustrophobia, anxiety, and emotional stress. It also contains a sample pre-MR screening form; comprehensive safety information for over 700 implants, devices, and materials; a list of medical devices and products for interventional MR procedures; and a summary of peer-reviewed MR safety studies.

In the wake of recent government demands for increased patient safety in hospitals, along with the rapidly expanding use of MRI, this book is particularly important. It is the definitive resource for information on the safety aspects of magnetic resonance procedures.

Industry Reviews

"Dr. Shellock's book was a pleasure to read. He has succeeded admirably in compiling a comprehensive survey of the various potential health effects and safety issues associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This achievement reflects Dr. Shellock's stature in the sensitive and controversial area of safety in MRI... The most compelling attribute of this book is that it contains information for absolutely every practitioner of MRI... The book is both up to date and timely." - Investigative Radiology, vol. 36, no. 8 "Magnetic Resonance Procedures: Health Effects and Safety is an extremely useful book, combining both a reference volume and a practical, day-to-day guide for MR operations. It consolidates most of our current knowledge of MR imaging safety into one volume, and it warrants a place on the bookshelf of every MR imaging facility, especially those with teaching responsibilities." - American Journal of Roentgenology, 177 "both up-to-date and timelythe most compelling attribute of this book is that it contains information for absolutely every practitioner of MRI" -Investigative Radiology, August, 2001
