The Best of MRI Safety: Top Ten Resources for MRI Safety Week 2026

MRI Safety

MRI Safety Week is the perfect time to revisit the conversations, insights, and practical guidance that help strengthen MRI safety programs year-round. To celebrate, we’ve pulled together ten of our most valuable MRI safety resources, including webinars, podcasts, expert discussions, and training-focused content.

This curated playlist covers timely topics such as the 2024 ACR Manual, ferromagnetic detection systems, MRI safety program development, off-label implants, projectile accidents, annual training, and the growing role of data and operational visibility in MRI safety.

Whether you are building a stronger safety program, refreshing your team’s knowledge, or looking for practical resources to share throughout the week, this top ten chart is designed to help you explore the best of MRI safety in one place.

#10: Projectile Accidents Don’t Happen Anymore…Right?
