80061024 - 23rd Hot Topics in MR Imaging for the Technologist

Saturday, February 25, 2023, 7:30 AM - Sunday, February 26, 2023, 4:00 PM, Internet Live Conference, Baltimore, MD


The field of MRI is rapidly changing. As more magnets become available, and with the increasing use of higher field strengths, MRI safety awareness becomes of paramount importance for technologists, radiologists, patients and personnel working in the MRI environment. New faster MRI sequences are now available, and their utility should be explored to enhance magnet utilization and accommodate the increasing demand for magnet time. The indications for performing prostate MRI continue to rise, especially with the use of MRI/Ultrasound image fusion to guide biopsy. MRI technologists need to be familiar with the optimized imaging technique for MSK, neuro and pediatric applications. It is crucial that technologists and other radiology staff receive updates and education in the latest MRI technology, not only to maintain their national license requirement but to be able to provide the best care to patients and properly address MRI safety issues. One way to accomplish these goals is to provide an annual CME-type imaging seminar where we can select leaders in the field of MRI to discuss these changes and how they impact the delivery of patient care.
