Featured Speaker: Tobias Gilk, Associate Architect with Junk Architects, PC, a consulting architectural firm in Kansas City, Missouri, that specializes in MRI facility planning and design.
MRI suites hold unique dangers for patients and staff. Today’s high-strength clinical MRI scanners are up to 60,000 times the strength of the Earth’s own ambient magnetic field. While exposure to magnetic energies has shown no harmful biological effects – there are still many accidents and incidents that jeopardize the safety of patients in the MRI suite. The proliferation of MRI equipment and significant increase4s in both magnet strength and spatial gradients have significantly increased the number of accidents occurring in the MRI suite. Each accident and close call puts patients and staff at risk. Join Tobias Gilk, a leading pioneer in MRI safety, as he discusses MRI Suite Safety Challenges.
