80052671 - Fourth Annual Hot Topics in MR Imaging for the Technologist

Saturday, September 26, 2020, 7:55 AM - Sunday, September 27, 2020, 3:00 PM, Zoom Meeting

The field of MRI is rapidly changing. As more magnets become available, and with the increasing use of higher field strengths, MR safety awareness becomes of paramount important for MRI technologists, radiologists, patients and personnel working in the MRI environment. Safety of Gadolinium contrast agents continues to be important and technologists should learn how to screen patients who might beat risk for developing side effects or complications to those agents. The role of MRI in scanning patients with cardiac devices continues to grow and technologists need to be familiar with performing these imaging studies. 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 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 safety issues with MRI. The 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 the changes, and how these changes impact the delivery of patient care.
