Webinar on Certification, Standardization in Remote MR Scanning Slated for December

Nov. 10, 2025 — There has been substantial progress in the past few years in the field of MRI in general and remote MR scanning in particular.

To ensure that MR safe practices keep up with the many changes that have permeated the practice of MRI, the American Board of Magnetic Resonance Safety (ABMRS) has generated a set of guidelines and a standardized approach to the practice of remote — and in person — MR scanning.

In this standardized approach, ABMRS is introducing the newly created role of the Magnetic Resonance Safety Tech (MRST) in helping the Magnetic Resonance Medical Director (MRMD), the MR Safety Officer (MRSO) and the MR Safety Expert (MRSE) oversee safe practices in especially remote MR scanning environments. As with the MRMD, MRSO and MRSE positions, the ABMRS has generated an examination to certify those who wish to hold the position/title of MRST. The ABMRS MRST certification examination will be available no later than February 2026.

The ABMRS will be presenting a 90-minute webinar entitled “Certification and Standardization in Remote MR Scanning” on Dec. 11, 2025, from 10 am - 11:30 Eastern Time. Registration for this free seminar is available at:  https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5120370/7CDA8270846F774DC31D64CC33EC936E
