[Health risks from the use of NMR tomography and in vivo NMR spectroscopy]

As a result of consultations with the Commission "Non ionizing Radiation" together with additionally appointed experts, the Federal Health Office has published "Recommendations on health risks caused by magnetic and high frequency electromagnetic fields in NMR-tomography and in-vivo-NMR-spectroscopy". The basis of these consultations was a list compiled by the authors on the effects from fields present during NMR application. This compilation contains some rough estimates. This publication is intended to document the compilation as a basis for recommendations published by the federal health office. Since such estimates need to be supplemented it is planned to review this compilation from time to time when new results are available.
