This is due to the extremely strong magnetic field, foreign bodies containing metal are strongly attracted to the magnet, and the improper use of the equipment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular machine used to image the human…

VDH can provide critical information to healthcare providers, including a fact sheet for managing patients exposed to or contaminated with radiation (Appendix 16) and instructions for collecting and shipping specimens for laboratory testing by urine bioassay (Appendix 17a for distribution outside VDH, Appendix 17b for distribution within VDH). For clinical management and care of patients with significant radiation exposure or contamination (≥ 1000 times background), DRH may refer healthcare…
