Welcome to the Modality MRI Mastery Course.

0:04

This issue is MRI safety.

0:08

My name is Tobias Gil. I will be your presenter for today's session.

0:14

I am a two-time past member of the American College of

0:18

Radiology's MRI Safety Committee.

0:21

I'm one of the founding board members of the American Board of Magnetic

0:25

Resonance Safety. I'm a principal with the company Radiology Planning,

0:30

or RAD Planning, and founder of my own consultancy,

0:33

Gil Radiology Consultants Disclosures for this

0:38

educational content, I'm an employee of Radiology planning,

0:43

rad Planning, and through Gil Radiology Consultants.

0:47

I have an ongoing consulting relationship with the company Metro Sense.

0:52

Now, because I am a board member of the ABM r s,

0:55

and I get to see the exam content questions for

1:01

the Mr. Md, Mrs. O and Mrs E certifying exams.

1:06

Anytime I do educational content on MRI safety, I like to provide the following.

1:11

This just makes it explicitly clear that through ABM R S I am

1:16

not only allowed to,

1:17

I'm encouraged to provide educational content on R MRI

1:21

safety,

1:22

but all of this content is on general safety concepts and principles and is

1:27

not specific to any exam materials.

1:31

In this program,

1:33

we're going to cover a handful of discrete topics.

1:37

We're going to talk about MRI as the safe modality and

1:42

look at the trajectory of MRI safety or MRI accidents

1:47

within the us.

1:49

We're going to assess the regulatory and accreditation minimum

1:54

MRI safety standards from some of the most widely used

1:59

and referenced accreditation programs.

2:02

We're going to look at a number of case studies,

2:05

evaluating different ways in which

2:09

patients and sometimes even staff members can be injured in the MRI environment.

2:15

Ultimately,

2:15

we're going to describe the supervising physician most frequently a radiologist.

2:20

We're going to talk about their legal obligations to MRI safety

2:25

and to conclude,

2:27

we will talk about some structures that can be put in place

2:32

to help protect the radiologist,

2:34

help protect the M R I provider,

2:37

and ultimately protect patients and caregivers.
