=== MRI Safety Policy === | |||
In MRI, the magnetic field is ALWAYS on. The MRI student will comply with each clinical site’s policies and procedures pertaining to metallic objects being introduced into the MRI scanning suite. Carrying ferromagnetic articles or introducing them to the MRI scanning area is strictly prohibited. These objects can become projectiles within the scanning room causing serious injury or death and/or equipment failure. This would include but not limited to: oxygen tanks, wheelchairs, carts, monitors, IV poles, laundry hampers, tools, furniture, personal ferromagnetic items (i.e., cell phone), etc. | |||
Students, upon matriculation, will have been screened for MRI compatibility and are required to notify the MRI Program Director immediately if their safety status changes due to a surgical implant, personal injury, or any other event during the course of their time in the MRI Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. | |||
