摘要
Although much has been published concerning the various safety risks associated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, little mention is made of the acoustic noise generated during scanning. The existing data are now out of date with regard to currently used imaging protocols and technology. Out of concern for patient safety, measurements were made of the acoustic noise generated during various scan protocols on a high field (1.5 T) Siemens MR imager. These data were compared with published data. The data show that for certain protocols, the exposure to acoustic noise falls outside safety guidelines unless ear protection is used.
