Dear reviewers: Responses to common reviewer critiques about infant neuroimaging studies
2022, Developmental Cognitive NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :How will you ensure the infant’s hearing is protected for the duration of the scan? Current MRI sequences can result in peak noise levels ranging from 122 to 131 decibels (dB) (Foster et al., 2000) with an average noise intensity measured at 110–115 dB across sequences (Radomskij et al., 2002). Hearing loss can begin with 50 min of exposure to sounds at or above 95 dB (CDC, 2019), making dampening these sounds imperative to the safety and comfort of the infant.
Silent zero TE MR neuroimaging: Current state-of-the-art and future directions
2021, Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance SpectroscopyAsymmetric gradient coil design for use in a short, open bore magnetic resonance imaging scanner
2016, Journal of Magnetic ResonanceCitation Excerpt :However, this design has a higher complexity in terms of the mechanical design. Apart from considering the electromagnetic performance of the gradient coil design, the amount of noise generated by the coil also needs to be considered in the design process to improve patient comfort for seriously ill or anxious patients [7,15–18]. With respect to the acoustic noise level reduction of the gradient coils, traditional methods for coping with this problem include wearing earplugs, earmuffs or even a helmet [19] or applying a damping treatment on the gradient assembly [20,21].
Evaluation of the possible effect of magnetic resonance imaging noise on peripheral hearing organ with the otoacoustic emission
2020, American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Actually, we did not apply a questionnaire for tinnitus evaluation before and after MRI. Radomskij et al. [24] divided patients who entered the 1.5 Tesla MRI device into two groups with and without headphones. Using TEOAE, patients who did not wear ear protectors showed changes in their hearing thresholds with an average of 1.84 dB.
