Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of the International Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Commission (ICNIRP) and its role in setting guidelines for radio-frequency fields. While exposure guidelines have been promulgated for magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) operations, there are a number of challenges that warrant further consideration.
