Figure 4. The energy generated by magnetic resonance imaging scans is transformed into heat in the patient's tissues, which can lead to hyperthermia in large patients or those undergoing prolonged scans

The importance of peri-anaesthetic temperature management: part 2

Commonly a result of an inability to dissipate heat, increased heat production/provision or a combination of both, hyperthermia can have significant deleterious impacts on the body (Thomson et al,...
