Although MR images do not involve any ionizing radiation, the MR environment involves a strong, static magnetic field that changes with time and radiofrequency energy, which carries potential safety concerns and therefore should be monitored closely. More information can be found in the 'ACR Guidance Document on MR Safe Practices: 2013'.
Additional new features include data acquisition and display of injectable contrast media parameters from any "smart" injector in CT, MR and Cardiac Cath labs directly to the patient jacket of DoseMonitor allowing providers to track all imaging related data for all modalities, ensures a greater holistic view for radiology departments, equipping facilities with expanded tools and data to report more confidently and improve imaging practices, image quality, and patient safety.
