MRI Safety Training is required for study personnel working in the magnetic environment or recruiting human subjects who will enter the magnetic environment of the scanners at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). Training includes a description of the dangers within the magnetic environment and instructions for identifying subjects and equipment that should not enter the magnetic environment.
Principal Investigators who will conduct research using the MCW scanner(s) are required to complete MRI Safety Training as they are ultimately responsible for the safety of the study. Training may be modified depending on the previous MRI experience of the investigator.
To begin MRI Safety Training, you must have an active eBridge account.
Initial Training requires the submission of a training application, completion of the online course and passing of course quiz, participating in a virtual safety training session with the MRI technologist, and passing of a final exam.
Annual Renewal of training is required each year to maintain MRI Safety Training status.
