In an effort to provide Physicians, Technologists, and other course attendees with current information and data to make informed decisions in their clinical settings, this symposium covers several objectives. These include teaching and reviewing the basic principles underlying the potential areas of safety concern involved in the MR imaging process and magnetic resonance environment. In addition, defining the thought process algorithms for assessing whether a patient/device/implant/ foreign object can safely undergo MR imaging, and familiarizing the attendee with medico-legal considerations associated with MR safety.
The content of this CME Symposium is intended for healthcare professionals including Radiologists and other Physicians, Technologists, Physicists, Radiologic and Imaging Nurses, Radiology Administrators, Facility Managers, Researchers, Risk Managers, and others.
