3 About this Course This program is designed for those individuals that anticipate fulfilling the role of MR Safety Expert and serve as a resource for the MR Safety officers and MR Medical Director. The MR Safety Expert is intended to possess knowledge and understanding of the physics related to MR safety issues and to provide guidance for those working in the MR industry. This program will provide you with the knowledge you will need to proceed to the next level and prepare you for the MRSE certification exam. It seems likely that the majority of MRSO s will be MR technologists, and the majority of MRSEs will be MR physicists. However, this is not at this time a requirement of the ABMRS, and as of today, there are no specific requirements, achievements, education, or certification requirements as to who can apply to take the MRSO or MRSE examinations The MRMD examination is designed for licensed physicians. Note: This program is not affiliated with the ABMRS. Who Should Attend This seminar is for medical physicists and others wanting to learn more about the technical aspects of MR imaging and those wishing to obtain the continuing education credits required for physicists by the ACR MRI facility certification requirements. It is also appropriate for medical physics students and residents, technically oriented radiologists, MRI technologists and MRI company personnel will also find it of value. Educational Objectives Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to: Understand the MRI safety considerations for MR static magnetic fields, time varying magnetic field and time varying radiofrequency fields. Review the accreditation and regulatory considerations regarding MR safety. Describe the engineering controls for MR safety when considering MR construction and shielding design, MR safety zones and MR safety equipment. Identify MR safety considerations when conducting MR procedures. Become familiar with MRI safety considerations for administrative controls which include MR safety training, signage and labeling, access control and importance of MR Safety Committee.

4 Continuing Education This activity is designed to provide continuing education for the practicing clinical medical physicists, interested technologists and other medical professionals. This program has been submitted for approval to CAMPEP for up to 8 hours of Medical Physics Education credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists. An application has been filed for Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT. Faculty Max Amurao, PhD, MBA, DABR(D,N), MRSE, CMLSO Dr. Amurao is an actively practicing safety professional and medical physicist. He is certified by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Medical Physics and Nuclear Medical Physics, by the Board of Laser Safety, and by the American Board of MR Safety. He currently serves as the Director of Radiation Safety for Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital, and Laser Safety Officer for Columbia University.
