The following MRI Level 2 Training is designed to educate healthcare professionals with Level 2 clearance on proper safety guidelines when using MRIs. This advanced training not only broadens the foundational knowledge obtained in Level 1 but also equips practitioners with specialized skills to handle complex imaging scenarios and interpret subtle nuances in MRI scans. For radiologic technicians or healthcare professionals, our Level 2 Training will greatly enhance your expertise in MRI practices. This training covers everything from the detailed physics behind magnetic resonance imaging to practical tips on patient management during MRIs. It will provide you with the knowledge to make informed decisions during MRI processes and challenges.
What you will learn:
- Establishing MRI safety policies
- MR screening
- Gowning
- MRI patient risk assessment
- Implants, devices, and objects

Navigating Safety in the MR Environment
The magnetic resonance (MR) environment, while instrumental in advancing diagnostic capabilities, presents a unique set of challenges and potential risks not only to patients but also to a broad spectrum of individuals who might interact with this powerful technology. Healthcare professionals and accompanying family members may encounter the magnetic fields and other energy sources associated with MR scanners. The powerful magnets used in MR imaging can pose significant risks if metal objects become unintentional projectiles.
This “missile effect” underscores the importance of strict metal screening protocols before anyone enters the MR suite. For healthcare workers and others who frequently enter this environment, understanding and adhering to these protocols is crucial to prevent accidents. Additionally, the magnetic fields are always active and can disrupt medical devices such as pacemakers and insulin pumps, making it essential for all personnel to be screened for such devices.
Universal MR Safety Policies
MR facilities, whether they operate in clinical or research settings, play a pivotal role in various applications ranging from diagnostics to interventional, intraoperative, and perioperative procedures. Given the diverse uses of MR technology, it is imperative that all facilities maintain robust MR safety policies. The necessity for such policies transcends the type of MR installation.
The risks associated with magnetic resonance environments demand consistent safety protocols.
