The Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science Presents Tenth Annual HOT TOPICS IN MR IMAGING for the Technologist January 30 - 31, 2010 Thomas B. Turner Building Baltimore, Maryland DESCRIPTION The field of MRI is continually changing. Improvements are being made in safety in the MRI environment, including contrast administration safety and the increasing compatibility of medical implants like ICD. Pulse sequences are changing to allow for short scan times and improved imaging. New imaging sequences are being developed, such as BLADE, SWI (Susceptibility Weighted Imaging), ASL (Arterial Spin Labeling), and non-contrast vascular image. It is crucial that technologists and other radiology staff receive updates and education in the latest MRI technology, not only to maintain their national license requirement but to be able to provide the best care to patients and properly address safety issues within MRI. The only way to accomplish these goals is to provide an annual CME imaging seminar where we can select leaders in the field of MRI to discuss the changes, and how these changes impact the delivery of patient care.
