In this podcast episode, Kellye Mantooth sits down with MRI technologists Kris Seitz, John Reyna, and Randy Parker to explore the implications of the new ACR Manual 2024 on MR safety practices. The discussion delves into scanner utilization, personnel recommendations, and notable changes in the manual, such as the transition from a five gauss boundary to a nine gauss boundary. The technologists share their insights on patient screening, interdepartmental coordination, and the challenges of maintaining MR safety.
Listeners will gain an understanding of various aspects of MRI safety, including the crucial role of radiologists' MR skills, the implementation of remote scanning, and the difficulties of achieving standardization in safety protocols. The guests emphasize the need for more radiologists with specialized MR expertise, the pros and cons of remote scanning, and the significance of training and certification for MR safety.
Additionally, the episode highlights the importance of consistent labeling for implants and devices, as well as the critical nature of a deliberate full stop final check. The conversation wraps up with a reflection on the lack of standardization in MR safety practices and the necessity for a cultural shift within the field.
