Tobias I work at a Hospital that just recently moved our MRI from a trailer parked on the lot to inside the Hospital. My boss and I are trying to revamp our Safety manual as there are a few more people with access now. We do all the normal screening and questions but would like to have a video to share with new hires and all personel not associated with the radiology department. I was wondering if you could give me a website and or place to purchase a video and any tips on making a easy to understand mri safety protocol. We have never had a problem with MRI safety yet and are trying to be proactive. Thanks for any help you can give me. Matt Woods Rt(R)(MR)
