  • What You'll Learn

    This presentation explores frequently overlooked magnetic resonance (MR) safety aspects that can impact patient and technologist wellbeing. Going beyond the three energies that make up MR imaging, we’ll examine safety risks such as quench procedures, mechanical incidents, infection control and patient transfer. A major focus will be on acoustic safety, breaking down the physics of sound, reviewing regulatory standards, and evaluating the effectiveness of hearing protection options. We’ll also highlight the critical role of education and policy in establishing a strong safety culture, using a pyramid model with education as the foundational layer. Attendees will be encouraged to assess their own department’s protocols and identify actionable areas of improvement. Whether it’s developing better screening processes or enhancing staff knowledge, this session aims to empower technologists with practical strategies to elevate MR safety in daily practice.

    Objectives

    After this presentation, the attendee will be able to:

    • Recognize and describe commonly overlooked aspects of MR safety, including mechanical risks, auditory hazards, policy gaps, and educational deficiencies.
    • Implement evidence-based safety practices to reduce risk and enhance patient care during MR procedures.
    • Assess current MR safety policies and procedures to identify potential weaknesses or areas for improvement.
    • Develop a personal and departmental plan to address knowledge gaps and promote continuous safety education.
