What it covers.
The particular standard for MRI systems. It sets operating modes (normal, first level and second level controlled) for the specific absorption rate (SAR) and for the rate of change of gradient fields (peripheral nerve stimulation), acoustic noise requirements, the emergency field shutdown (quench) and emergency stop, and labelling. MR safety of other equipment in the room is described by ASTM F2503 labels: MR Safe, MR Conditional or MR Unsafe.
