Scientific Session
There are
currently a number of different initiatives aiming to
develop guidelines for safe working in MRI, develop training
materials for this purpose, and/or define the requirements
for professionals who provide MR safety advice. In Europe,
this work is driven mainly by the imminent EMF Directive,
which is likely to mandate the development of pan-European
safety guidelines. But there is a wider interest in the MRI
community to ensure that uniform safety standards apply
wherever MRI is used. This session will bring together
colleagues who are involved in these activities to share
experiences and ideas and hopefully work towards a study
group workshop on the subject in 2012. |
