3 Buckets Flashcards
3 buckets
Static Field
Gradient Energy
RF Energy
Static Field Injury
Injury from interaction with field and object
RF Injury
heating or stimulation of tissue in contact with device/implant with repeated RF pulses
Gradient Injury
injury secondary to the rapid rise and fall of gradiant field pulses
Static field Forces
Translational
Rotational
Lenz Effect
Translational Force
greatest at end of bore
deflection of object
Rotational Force
wants to align with field
spherical objects no rotation
ISO center near MAX
Lenz Effect
opposition to field
size and speed determine
Static field
3D around axis
symmetrical
Fringe Fields
fields outside of bore
5G restricted line
Deflection angle
<45 MR Conditional
>45 MR UNsafe
<45 gravity > Magnet
>45 Gravity < Magnet
RF energy
decreases farther from ISO
pulse sequence dependent
gradient energy
change in magnetic field
RF Burns
Proximity
E Field loop
resonant circuit
reflective energy
Proximity burns
tissue close to rf source
looping burns
skin to skin contact
small patch
resonant burns
heating of implanted devices/wires
