Abstract
Anaesthetists are being increasingly involved in magnetic resonance (MR) procedures, both in patient care and as a research tool. This paper outlines the physical basis of nuclear magnetic resonance and describes its application in magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Principles of magnet design and safety relevant to anaesthetic practice in a magnetic resonance environment are discussed and guidelines for anaesthetic practice suggested. Some recent clinical magnetic resonance studies of anaesthetic interest are reviewed.
