On average, each MRI scanner consumes about 25% of tech labor in implant and device lookups. If the labor cost wasn't significant enough, alone, this lookup time often causes delays (or outright denials) of MRI patient care, producing 'cold table time.'

Always strive to wield the absolute minimum amount of power necessarily for the fulfillment of your responsibilities. Read that again.

- Minimum Level 1 training to include zones & access, static field, MRI safety structure, basic emerg response, and equipment MR Conditional labeling - Minimum Level 2 training to include time-varying fields (gradient & RF), screening, advanced emerg response, implant labeling

This particular example of circular-logic has proven to be a very formidable half-truth, defeating well thought out regulatory propositions by making them appear frivolous.

But they're not frivolous. How many recent accounts of grave injury or death have you heard of from a single X-ray exam? CT? Fluoro? PET? This year 2 of the top-10 stories on AuntMinnie were of MRI fatalities (auntminnie.com/index.aspx?sec…), though only one is relevant to our point.

... do not take 'the safe modality' pitch at face value. Treat it with skepticism. Recognize that MRI has *different* risks, some of which are graver than any ionizing modality.

If you're unclear what those risks are, let your curiosity guide you. MRI has killed people multiple ways... with magnetic projectiles, by interfering with pacemakers and medication pumps, by pulling on unsafe aneurysm clips, and by asphyxiating people from cryogen exposure.

These are above and beyond the serious injuries of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (requiring amputation) degree RF burns, crushing or penetrating projectiles, long-term hearing damage, damage to implants, to say nothing of MR contrast-related injuries.

Regarding #radiology fellowships: 1. Move process to R4 yr. Why must #radres choose a specialty <2 yrs into 4-yr residency & why overlap w/ American Board of Radiology Core? 2. ALL fellowships should be by NRMP® 3. App season should be MUCH shorter. Other opinions? The APDR @AURtweet
