SA-C-BRA-0 (Saturday, March 5, 2016) 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM Room: Grand Ballroom A
There has been a rapid increase in the number of reported MR-related incidents in the past 15 years, which has precipitated the response by accrediting organizations to develop expanded MRI-safety requirements.
The Medical Physicist plays a central role in the development, implementation, investigation, and regular review of the physical and organizational infrastructure that a site needs to maintain an MR-safe environment.
This presentation discusses the approaches taken by several organizations - from a medical physicist's perspective - in the implementation of MR-safe procedures, policies, and practices. The presentation will also touch on the salient points of MR-safety topics relevant to accreditation, as well as the credentialing of MR-safety personnel with an emphasis on the MR Safety Expert (MRSE) certification.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the increased need for MR safety
2. Understand the key components in an MR safety program
3. Methods to implement and track MR safety programs in the clinic
