This is the conclusion of the two-part series on the basics of MR imaging safety beginning with Episode 9. In this episode we discuss the components of the MRI system including some of the inherent safety issues that arise from them; the concept of safety zones and its importance; examples of unique safety issues in MRI, and the screening process. MR contrast safety and screening will be discussed separately in a future episode.
