This course is presented in two modules:

1. MRI Safety: Intermediate

This module covers the hazards of the magnetic field, zoning and safety protocols. Four patient scenarios explore how to screen patients effectively to identify potential hazards, and how to prepare patients for the MRI procedure. HMC guidelines and policies are incorporated as appropriate.

2. MRI Safety: Advanced

Staff in the MR suite play a vital role in keeping patients safe. This module focuses on how to prepare, position and respond to patients having an MRI to reduce the risk of adverse events. It reviews how to recognize when it is not safe to scan a patient, and what to do in an emergency, including incident reporting.
