Safety Training
Columbia University MRI Center at the Neurological Institute
MR safety training and certification is a 2-step process. First, researchers get an annual MR Safety review (consisting of a video and slide presentation) via NYP weblink via ISMRM (the link will only work at CUIMC). For the second part, contact the Director of Research. Researchers must have proof of current safety training before beginning the cost estimate process.
All MR scans at NI are run by a MR technologist. Users do not operate the magnet.
New York State Psychiatric Institute
MR safety training is held every month. Contact the MR Program Coordinator to reserve your space. Once the date, time, and location is set, an announcement is emailed to the entire institute and all users who expressed interest.
NYSPI MRI employs the yellow badge/ green badge system. A user earns their yellow badge by taking the safety class and passing the safety test. A yellow badge- holder has access to the MR suite. To earn their green badge, they must shadow three scans. Typically a new user will shadow scans conducted by their own labs, but if there's any difficulty with this, users should contact the MR Program Coordinator to set up shadowing opportunities with other labs.
Only users who have passed their safety training (that is, earned at least their yellow badge) may enter the MRI suite.
