This program reviews fundamental MRI safety information and meets the annual training recommendations from the American College of Radiology. Importantly, MRI facilities must now comply with the revised requirements for diagnostic imaging from The Joint Commission and document that MRI technologists participate in ongoing education that includes annual training on safe MRI practices in the MRI environment. Notably, Advanced MRI Safety Training for Healthcare Professionals, Level 2 MR Personnel covers each MRI safety topic specified by The Joint Commission, as well as many additional subjects that will expand the knowledge-base of healthcare professionals involved with MRI technology.
With 35 years of experience in the field of MRI, the author of the best-selling textbook series, the Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Implants and Devices, and the creator of the internationally popular website, MRIsafety.com, Dr. Frank G. Shellock is uniquely qualified to present the information in this program.
Advanced MRI Safety Training for Healthcare Professionals (4th Edition), Level 2 MR Personnel is a 2 hour and 45 minute program that is divided into three different sections.
Educational Objectives
-
Understand the safety issues related to MRI.
-
Describe the bioeffects associated with the static magnetic field, time-varying magnetic fields, and radiofrequency fields.
-
Present guidelines that prevent projectile-related accidents.
-
Describe polices that avoid issues related to acoustic noise.
-
Review procedures that prevent burns associated with MRI.
-
Explain and demonstrate appropriate pre-MRI screening procedures.
-
Identify techniques to manage patients with claustrophobia, anxiety, or emotional distress.
-
Describe guidelines to handle medical emergencies in the MRI setting.
-
Understand the safety considerations for gadolinium-based contrast agents.
This is a Pay-To-View program. Purchase is required for full program access.

Individuals entering the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment, whether on a regular or infrequent basis, must be properly trained to ensure their safety, the protection of patients, and the security of other facility staff members. This program, Basic MRI Safety Training, Level 1 MR Personnel accomplishes the initial training that is necessary to ensure safety in the unique setting associated with the MRI system. It includes information pertaining to MRI technology, describes common hazards and unique dangers associated with the MRI setting, and presents vital recommendations and guidelines to prevent accidents and injuries. Importantly, this program provides the fundamental MRI safety information for Level I MR Personnel recommended by the American College of Radiology and may be utilized by individuals preparing for safety training as Level 2 MR Personnel.
With more than 35 years of experience in the field of MRI, the author of the best-selling textbook series, the Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Implants and Devices, and the creator of the internationally popular website, www.MRIsafety.com, Dr. Frank G. Shellock is uniquely qualified to present the information in this program.

MRI technology has advanced with the availability of low - vertical field scanners. However, many patients present with passive implants and devices that are available in clinical practice, yet not approved for MR imaging in low field scanners.
In this CME program three MR imaging experts will provide unique perspectives on managing patients with passive implants and devices. The panel will discuss important MRI safety information and details on how to safely image these patients, including a review of screening policies, implant and device manufacturers’ information and resources, and the implementation plan for a MRI safety program, designed to mitigate the potential risks to patients presenting with passive implants and devices.
Learning Objectives
-
Identify challenges associated with imaging patients with passive implants on low field (<1.5-T) MR systems.
-
Review MRI considerations in order to safely manage patients that present with passive implants referred for scans on low field MR systems.
-
Implement protocols to safely scan patients presenting with passive implants that are not labeled for low field scanners, including 1.2-T MR systems.
-
Increase the number of patients eligible for MRI exams.
This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation.
