5. Primary ResponsibilitiesDevelop safety policies and proceduresDevelop safety training presentation contentDevelop standard formsApprove MR scans with potential contraindicationsAncillary review committee for IRB protocolsAdminister CAPLAN processReview/approve policy exceptionsReview/approve all equipment in scanner roomsDevelop MR operator training process
6. ChallengesOngoing construction projects Integration of new labsCommunication to usersChanging University training content providers
7. HighlightsLegislative Audit of MR operator training processExternal Audit of safety practices“As experts in the field in MR Safety it should be clear that the CMRR is a facility that others should look to as a role model in MR Safety. Their attention to MR Safety, down to every detail, is a best practice, a gold standard that is a true representation of how afacility should be conducting and carrying out their safety in the MR environment each day.”
8. Working on in Next YearFinalize new training content Integrate into new University systemsNew training database (track, remind, assign, etc.)Update standard imaging formsLook at new implant database and decide how best to use that information
