MRI-related magnetic field exposures and risk of commuting accidents: A cross-sectional survey among Dutch imaging technicians

BACKGROUND: Imaging technicians working with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may experience acute effects such as vertigo or dizziness when being exposed. A previous study also reported an increased risk of accidents in MRI exposed staff. OBJECTIVES: We aimed at evaluating commuting accident risk in Dutch imaging technicians. METHODS: Of invited imaging technicians, 490 (29%) filled in a questionnaire pertaining to (near) accidents when driving or riding a bike, health, lifestyle and work practices. We used logistic regression to evaluate the association between exposure to MRI-related electr... Mehr ...
