MRI safety is often approached as a regulatory requirement rather than a clinical standard, creating a growing gap between minimum compliance and best practice. This presentation explores the differences between regulatory expectations and the evolving standard of care in MRI safety, highlighting common vulnerabilities in screening, implant verification, patient assessment, staffing, training, communication, and emergency preparedness.

Attendees will leave gain a clearer understanding of why MRI safety is not an optional enhancement to patient care, but a fundamental professional responsibility.
