Course Title: "Thermal Injuries in MRI "
This Enduring Material has been approved for 2.0 Category A Continuing Educational credits.
To receive credit, view the content and complete the quiz with a score of 75% or better. Completion of all questions with a passing score will earn a total of 2.0 Category A Continuing Education credits. Members receiving a score less than 75% will be notified and given the option of taking the quiz an additional two times.
The certificate will state the CE reference number and awarded CE credits. Members should retain their CE certificate for their Continuing Education registry requirements.
Important Information on ARRT Category A Credits
This activity may be available in multiple formats or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat a live seminar/meeting or self-learning activity for credit if it was reported in the same or any subsequent biennium. It is the responsibility of each individual to maintain a record of previously submitted and credited live or self-learning CE or CME activities. Duplicate credit for the same activity in the same biennium is not permitted.

- Learn how the RF pulses are produced, power used, various definitions
- Learn how the RF pulses induce electric currents in any conducting material (including body tissues)
- Understand the safety limits that control the amount of RF power deposited in the body and associated terminology
- Learn how your sequence decisions impact SAR levels
- Extra details on RF pulse definitions, SAR to help read implant labels
- Recognize that the heat deposition causes general heating of the body and on rare occasion, a focal concentration that causes a burn
- The patient preparation steps to minimize occurrence of certain burns
- There are other (rare) types of thermal injuries possible
- Explain the SMRT/FDA recommendations
