MR Safety Workshop to be held in 2014

   

The SMRT is looking forward to working jointly with the ISMRM to host an international MR Safety Workshop in the USA. Attendance at previous ISMRM safety workshops have proved extremely valuable to MR technologists and radiographers as evidenced by testimony from SMRT participants Titti Owman and Anne Marie Sawyer.

In addition to acquiring important answers about MR safety and exchanging ideas and information with presenters, the FDA, manufacturers of MR scanners and ferromagnetic detectors, and other meeting participants; attendance at these workshops produces significant questions that ultimately lead to a clearer understanding of MR safety and the needs of the imaging community. Anne, Titti and Vera Kimbrell, who all have a wealth of experience, will be spearheading our resources in supporting this meeting. After previous successful collaborations in previous ISMRM safety workshops, we are excited to continue to raise the bar in MRI safety education for our entire community.

Details are being prepared at the time of this publication and will be available on the SMRT website, Facebook and Twitter as soon as the final program is announced.
