The Alliance for MRI online petition is still open for anyone who has not yet signed up. The petition aims to safeguard the future use of MRI in Europe by requesting an EU-wide exemption for the medical use of MRI and related research from any exposure limit values set in the Physical Agents 2004/40/EC (EMF) Directive. We are now entering a crucial phase in the campaign, as the European Commission is expected to publish the draft of the revised Directive in autumn, which will then be discussed in the European Parliament and the European Council. Please add your voice to the cause and spread the word!
