[Safety and safety limits in MRI].
The influence of electromagnetic fields on humans through the use of magnetic resonance tomography is an ongoing topic in the scientific literature. However, the contents of relevant standards and legal regulations governing the operation of MR equipment are less well known. We summarize the actual status and give an overview of the national and international bodies in charge of generation and publication of guidelines and regulations.
