Metrasens

 

2021 marks 20 years since the accident that killed 6-year old Michael Colombini while being prepared for an MRI exam.  Much has changed since that time with a primary focus on MR Safe practices, procedures, roles and technologies. Yet as with most areas involving healthcare there is much more we can do as an MRI Safety community.

In this webinar, Metrasens consultant and industry expert, Tobias Gilk, will walk through the progression from 2001 and the journey that has taken us to 2021, along with the journey we must take to continue advancing.

  • Risk Managers
  • Technologists
  • Compliance Officers
  • Administrators
  • Patient Safety Officers
  • Radiologists
  • Equipment Planners

Metrasens’ host for this webinar will be MRI Safety Educator and Trainer, Alan Heffron.
