Happy MRI Safety Week, everyone! #MRIsafety

And this is purportedly the removal of the pistol from the prior tweet. 😳🤬 (video also shared to the FB MRI Safety group page) #MRIsafety #pistol #MRI #radiology #ptsafety

This month (June, 2022) is the 20th anniversary of the initial publication of the @RadiologyACR 'White Paper on MR Safety' ( https://t.co/XqqKw532uL) the publication that kicked off a 5-times-updated, world-recognized #MRIsafety best practice manual.

20 years ago (2002) the @RadiologyACR published the original "White Paper on MR Safety." This document, the foremost best practice standard since publication, has evolved and expanded over time, becoming the 2020 "Manual on MR Safety." #MRIsafety #radiology #ptsafety

We generally abstain from retweeting content form individuals' accounts, but this one seems very 'on target' for us: https://t.co/Lz61rz5VFp Thoughts @SecBecerra @XavierBecerra on (unmet) MIPPA @CMSGov requirements for ADI safety standards? #MRIsafety

New year... New approach. What #MRIsafety practice questions or concerns would *you* like to see us address this year? Share your thoughts and suggestions and we'll try and address each topic our followers identify.

Happy New Year! May it be a year with safer, accessible MRI services. Our tweets will be a bit more episodic, at least for a while, but if you're interested in #MRIsafety best practices, we invite you to check out our library of daily threads from last year.

We will close out this year's tweets simply by wishing everyone a 2022 that is happy, healthy, and in which we each help bring safer MRI to the world. Happy New Year!

There exists a body of #MRIsafety best practices (not reflected in current laws, rules, or accreditation standards) that could help MRI live up to its adopted slogan, 'the safe modality,' but they're not (yet) a part of minimum requirements of practice.

Our final request to regulators (@FDAcdrhIndustry, state depts of health, and state and federal bodies of congress) is to break free of the circular-logic that may have prevented taking an objective look at what the real risks (and preventions) are for MRI accidents.

Granted each of these classes of MRI injury are thankfully rare, they continue to happen. One doesn't need to dig 30 or 40 years into the past to find examples of these injuries or deaths... they continue to occur to the present.

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.

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.

... 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.
