Level 2 MRI Safety Training

This training is required for all faculty, post-doctoral, graduate, and undergraduate students who will work in the MRI Lab as the second person in the Console Control Room (Zone 3). This course provides an increased level of safety and operational training, including participant screening, medical device and implant safety, other safety issues related to the potential for thermal loading or burns, and correct use of the Mednovus ferromagnetic wanding device.

Individuals who have completed Level 2 Safety Training and passed the test can: conduct the initial safety screening on research participants; conduct adjunct safety screening using the Mednovus ferromagnetic wanding device; enter unescorted into Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4; and are allowed electronic access in to the MRI Lab (Zones 1 and 2). Level 2 trained personnel must hold a valid CPR card. Level 2 trained personnel may not operate the MRI scanner.
