This 135 minute program is divided into three separate sections and reviews critical data regarding safety in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. With current information, MRI healthcare professionals are better able to help ensure patient and staff safety and optimize MRI facility guidelines.
Internationally respected, MRI safety researcher, and educator, Dr. Frank G. Shellock, developed the program, Advanced MRI Safety Training for Healthcare Professionals, Level 2 MR Personnel, which provides essential information pertaining to all critical aspects of MRI bioeffects, patient management and safety. With current information, healthcare professionals will help ensure safety for patients and staff members, while optimizing MRI facility policies and procedures.
This program reviews fundamental MRI safety protocols 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. As such, 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.
