Excerpt
We are pleased to present this minisymposium on MRI quality and safety. This issue was initially conceived by the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) MR committee as an up-to-date resource for quality and safety issues related to pediatric MRI that reflects the shared experience of the institutions represented by the committee’s membership. Articles in this minisymposium cover a wide range of topics that we believe are of interest to the pediatric radiology community at large, including components of an MRI system, establishing an MR safety program, MRI in children with implants, safety issues related to MRI sedation and anesthesia, safety issues related to intravenous contrast agents, and MRI quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement. These articles all include relevant updated references for readers who would like more detailed information on each of these topics. We want to thank all of the authors who contributed to this issue, including radiologists, physicists, technologists and anesthesiologists. Because MR quality and safety touches on so many roles, we thought it was important to have a multidisciplinary team of authors participating. Finally, we want to thank Peter Strouse and Stephanie Custer from Pediatric Radiology for their support and guidance. We hope you enjoy reading this minisymposium as much as we enjoyed organizing it! …
