The number of reported MRI safety incidents has increased significantly over the last decade. The ACR and The Joint Commission require that MRI facilities be staffed with knowledgeable individuals who are regularly trained in best practices, aimed at preventing safety-related incidents and injuries. This CME-CE accredited webinar delivers current information supported by the 2020 ACR Manual on MR Safety; providing the participant with an opportunity to learn through live online presentations, interactive Q & A sessions and poll questions that encourage audience participation. All lecture materials will be provided to the attendees.

Workshop Topics:

• Screening and Patient Preparation • Patient Screening • Non-emergent • Emergent • Non-Patient Screening • Patient Dress • Static Field • Torque Forces • Rotation Forces • Lenz’s Forces • Biological Effects • Gradient (Time-Varying) Magnetic Field • Current Induction • Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) • Acoustic Noise • Biologic Effects • Radio Frequency (RF) Field • Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) • Specific Energy Dose (SED) • Thermal Injuries • Biologic Effects • Patients with Implants and Devices • FDA Labeling • Conditions of Use • Risk Assessment of Non-labeled Metallic Items • Role of the Radiologist in MRI Supervision

Educational Credits

With the MR Technologist, Imaging Administrator, Physicist and Radiologist in mind, the workshop is accredited for 8 Hours of Category A credits (through the ASRT) and 8 Category 1 AMA/PRA CME Credits™.

Accreditation Statement
