Est. SAR vs. Peak SAR?
If an implant is MR Conditional with a manufacturer's recommendation that SAR be kept less than or equal to 2.0W/kg, does that mean that I should be looking at the Est. SAR or the Peak SAR and keeping it under 2.0W/kg?

MRI 1w/kg sequences Siemens Avanto FIT
I have recently been asked to build protocols for Spines and extremities that are 1 watt per kilogram SAR. In speaking with Applications at Siemens they inform me that I can only change certian parameters to help lower SAR but it will all be dependent upon each patient and which sequences are running. I need to present to our MRI QA commitiee if we can or if we cannot do 1w/kg SAR as we are determining if we can scan cochlear implants? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
 
 

Thank You
Will R.

Brain T2FS postcontrast
Gadolinium relaxation times are too short for T2 weighted imaging, so T2 weighted is not tipically performed after contrast (unless used as a delay to give contrast time to peak before T1 FS is obtained).

Also I have never worked at any facility that uses T2 fat sat imaging on the brain. Not a whole lot of fat in the brain region!

FLAIR imaging is the norm...but I could stand corrected.

Deaf MRI technicians?
Hi! Working as an MRI Technologist requires a lot of talking to the patient. You must screen the patients yourself, talk to them in between pulse sequences to ensure they are doing alright, and during breath hold exams. There is a huge safety factor with MRI with keeping certain metals away from the magnet so screening each and every person is a huge factor with being a MRI Technologist. As a MRI Technologist for a mobile company i speak with a radiologist that works at another facility for protocols and questions regarding exams and ensuring we get everything the patient and ordering doctor needs. If you have a MRI school in your area i would email or call them to see if any accomodations could be made, but i know from working mobile and at surrounding hospitals in this state and nearby states i live in, you would need to speak to the patient.

Deaf MRI technicians?
Hello,

I'm deaf, COULD speak but I prefer communicating in American Sign Language because it means a lot less guesswork than lipreading.

I've been thinking of enrolling in a MRI program at home in Canada after I graduate from the university I am at now. I've always found it fascinating, but when I tried to ask the program director about deafness they only told me of academic supports available.

Figured this might be a good place to ask. How much of being a MRI technician involves talking to the actual patients?
There will not be interpreters available for me on a daily basis, nor do I wish to constantly use them. If there is a lot of communication with the patients themselves, is there often anyone else around (like a nurse) that could talk to them instead?

If there's anything else you might need to know before answering, can just ask away!

Thank you in advance for your answers, it'll help me figure out if this is something I'd like to pursue for certain!
