Not all implanted devices are created equal and must be carefully evaluated for their ability to undergo scanning. Newer devices are more likely to be safe in the MR scanner, though under very strict settings. Thanks for joining us for this year's MR Safety Week! 👋 #mrsafetyweek

In the MR suites, the technologists are in charge of patient and visitor safety, carefully screening patients for internal and external objects that could cause harm to patients or other healthcare workers. #mrsafetyweek

Thermal injuries are the most common injury associated with MR imaging, though almost always preventable. Ask your technologist how to prevent burns at your next visit. #mrsafetyweek

What's that noise?!? MRI machines can get quite loud, enough to cause damage, which is why hearing protection is so important for our patients #mrsafetyweek #asrt

Great care is taken to ensure patient safety in the MR system room.

As a patient, it is vital that you remove all metallic belongings in advance of an MRI exam, including hearing aids, jewelry, and cell phones. Learn more about MRI safety at tinyurl.com/bde5b4yy
