Abstract

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices on the bone health of MRI workers. Materials and methods: Fourteen volunteer MRI technicians working with 1.5 Tesla MRI units at least for two years were included in the study. An age and sex-matched control group from indoor working 14 volunteer paramedical staff who were not exposed to SMF and met the identical criteria was formed. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning was performed in all participants. Parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, and 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels were measured. Results: The mean vertebral and femoral neck bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) as well as the mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level of MRI technicians was found to be lower than the control group (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) cihazlarının oluşturduğu statik manyetik alanın (SMA) MRG çalışanlarının kemik sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri araştırıldı. Gereç ve yöntemler: En az iki yıl boyunca 1.5 Tesla MRG cihazı ile çalışan 14 gönüllü MRG teknisyeni çalışmaya dahil edildi. Cinsiyet ve yaş eşleştirilmesi yapıldıktan sonra aynı kriterler gözetilerek, SMA’ya maruz kalmayan ve kapalı alan- da çalışan 14 paramedikal gönüllü personelden kontrol grubu oluşturuldu. Tüm katılımcılara dual-enerji X-ray absopsiyo- metri (DXA) görüntülemesi uygulandı. Paratiroid hormon, kalsiyum, fosfor, alkalen fosfataz, 25-hidroksivitamin D3, ve 1.25-dihidroksivitamin D3 seviyeleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: MRG teknisyenlerinin vertebra ve femur boynu ortalama kemik mineral içeriği (KMİ) ve ortalama kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) ile birlikte ortalama 25-hidrok- sivitamin D3 değerleri kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı oranda düşük bulundu (p
