Respirators and surgical facemasks for COVID-19: implications for MRI
• Respirators used for COVID-19 protection have not been tested for MR safety. • Three of four respirators tested contained ferromagnetic components. • These respirators are ‘MR unsafe’. • Respirators used for COVID-19 protection should be reviewed locally for MR safety. • Surgical masks offer a WHO...
