An effective framework for the provision of safety advice in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is essential for the safety of patients, visitors and staff. This policy statement is issued by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) to address the provision of Magnetic Resonance (MR) scientific safety advice to MR units that undertake human imaging in the UK.
The policy statement focuses on key elements of the role where MR clinical scientists contribute to the safe, effective and efficient delivery of high-quality MRI services. MR clinical scientists are also important for improving and developing MRI services and such roles require both senior leadership within MR physics departments and sufficient scientific staffing levels.
