Magnetic Resonance Imaging takes center stage next week during a national celebration of MRI safety.
Test your knowledge and learn more about MRI safety during the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging Safety Week July 23 – 29. MRI staff will be outside the Cafeteria July 24, 26 and 28, providing information about MRI safety and Magnetic Resonance therapy options at BWH. Staff who fill out a survey detailing their knowledge of MRI procedures will be entered into a raffle to win an American Express gift card.
At BWH, MRI staff and technology provide diagnostic imaging services and magnetic resonance therapy (MRT), which uses MRI to guide interventions and surgery from the planning stage through completion.
Use this week to learn more about MRI safety. For example, effective screening of patients prior to any MRI exam is crucial to ensuring a safe MR environment. The patient is screened for items that may interfere with the MRI exam, including certain metallic, electronic, magnetic or mechanical implants, devices and objects.
