MR Pathology for the Technologist
4 Hours ARRT Category A Credit
Paul Worthington, BS, RT(R)(MR)
|
|
About this webinar
The ability to recognize the presence of pathology is a valuable skill for the MR Technologist.
While it is not within the scope of practice of technologists to read images, recognizing pathology
allows the technologist to alert the radiologist while the patient is still in the MR suite. Protocols can then
be modified during the study rather
than recalling the patient for additional imaging. As a result,
throughput and patient satisfaction are enhanced by tailoring studies to the needs of the patient. A recognition and understanding of pathology also provides the technologist with a better understanding of the
objective of the study,
a tool to optimize image quality to properly identify pathology and an enhanced sense of contributing
to the delivery of better healthcare to the patient. This insight will motivate efforts to improve the quality of the study.
A printable download will be
e-mailed to each registrant prior to
the first session of the webinar.
This will allow you
to follow along
with the presentation and make
notes as you feel necessary.
This webinar will be presented in
Two 2-hour sessions.
