Occupational Exposure in MRI: Dispelling Myths
Occupational Exposure in MRI: Dispelling Myths addresses critical knowledge gaps for radiology professionals by enhancing their understanding of electromagnetic fields and their application in medical imaging. Participants will gain technical expertise in evaluating the health effects of exposure to static and time-varying magnetic fields across different MRI field strengths and will learn to apply advanced measurement techniques for assessing occupational exposure.
By integrating updated regulatory guidelines, exposure assessment strategies, and health risk evaluations, this course aims to foster measurable improvements in workplace safety protocols, risk management, and compliance, ultimately enhancing the safety and efficiency of MRI practices for both technologists and patients.
Learning Objectives
- Describe electromagnetic fields in the environment and its use in Medical Imaging.
- Explain the subject of exposure to electromagnetic fields in different MRI field strengths.
- Discuss the measurement and effects of electromagnetic fields on MRI Technologists.
