Europe banning MRIs?

September 26, 2007

It could happen as early as 2008:

Implementation of the Physical Agents (Electromagnetic Fields) Directive 2004/40/EC in all Member States could effectively halt the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an important tool in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research, a scientist told a press conference at the European Cancer Conference (ECCO 14).

The Directive is due to be implemented across Europe by April 2008.
