Problem: in recent years, new studies have been published on biological effects of strong static magnetic fields and on thermal effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields as used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Many of these studies have not yet been incorporated into current safety recommendations. Method: scientific publications from 2010 onwards on the biological effects of static and electromagnetic fields of MRI were searched and evaluated. Results: new studies confirm older work that has already described effects of static magnetic fields on sensory organs and the central nervous system accompanied by sensory perception. A new result is the direct effect of Lorentz forces on ionic currents in the semicircular canals of the vestibular organ. Recent studies on thermal effects of radiofrequency fields focused on the development of anatomically realistic body models and more accurate simulation of exposure scenarios. Recommendation for practice: strong static magnetic fields can cause unpleasant perceptions, especially dizziness. In addition, they can impair the performance of the medical personnel and thus potentially endanger patient safety. As a precaution, medical personnel should move slowly in the field gradient. High-frequency electromagnetic fields cause tissues and organs to heat up in patients. This must be taken into account in particular for patients with impaired thermoregulation as well as for pregnant women and newborns; exposure in these cases must be kept as low as possible.

In the process of X-ray transmission imaging, the mutual occlusion between structures will lead to the image information overlap, and the computed tomography (CT) method is often required to obtain the structure information at different depths, but with low efficiency. To address these problems, an X-ray focused on imaging algorithm based on multi-line scanning is proposed, which only requires the scene target to pass through the detection area along a straight line to extract multi-view information, and uses the optical field reconstruction theory to achieve the de-obscured reconstruction of the structure at a specified depth with high real-time. The results of multi-line scan and X-ray reconstruction of the target show that the proposed method can reconstruct the information of any specified depth layer, and it can perform fast imaging detection of the mutually occluded target structures and improve the recognition of the occluded targets, which has a good application prospect.
