High exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMF) can occur near certain medical devices in the hospital environment. A systematic assessment of medical occupational EMF exposure could help to clarify where more attention to occupational safety may be needed. This paper seeks to identify sources of high exposure for hospital workers and compare the published exposure data to occupational limits in the European Union. A systematic search for peer-reviewed publications was conducted via PubMed and Scopus databases. Relevant grey literature was collected via a web search. For each publication, the highest measured magnetic flux density or internal electric field strength per device and main frequency component was extracted. For low frequency fields, high action levels may be exceeded for magnetic stimulation, MRI gradient fields and movement in MRI static fields. For radiofrequency fields, the action levels may be exceeded near devices for diathermy, electrosurgery and hyperthermia and in the radiofrequency field inside MRI scanners. The exposure limit values for internal electric field may be exceeded for MRI and magnetic stimulation. For MRI and magnetic stimulation, practical measures can limit worker exposure. For diathermy, electrosurgery and hyperthermia, additional calculations are necessary to determine if SAR limits may be exceeded in some scenarios.

“…In general, there are no specific reports of adverse effects of rTMS in operators, even in cases they are being exposed to magnetic fields for several hours daily, even for years, although this field needs further investigation in the coming years. 54,76 Safety issues until today are seldom addressed for operators. Guidelines for occupational levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields have been proposed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and by Directives from the European Parliament.…”

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation that is receiving increasingly attention for new clinical applications. Through electromagnetic induction cortical activity can be modulated and therapeutic effects can be achieved in a variety of psychiatric and neurological conditions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) depression is the most disabling disease in the world and 350 million people suffer from depression globally. Major depression is the most common disorder to be treated with TMS and the first mental disorder for which TMS received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We here introduce the basic principles of TMS, discuss the latest data on safety and side effects, and present various TMS treatment protocols as well as treatment response predictors in major depressive disorder.

Staff exposure to pulsed magnetic fields during depression treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation

Abstract: The study shows that the exposure of staff in this type of treatment may exceed the given guidelines for occupational exposure, thus confirming previous findings. This necessitates good routines in information and treatment procedures to avoid this exposure.
