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. This is part one of a two-part series on the basics of MR imaging safety. MR contrast safety and screening will be discussed separately in a future episode.
