Understanding the SAR monster with Dr. Fahrenholtz, an MRI Physicist.

Dr. Sam Fahrenholtz, Ph.D. joins Zone 3 podcast in the studio to discuss SAR (Specific absorption rate) and other ways to measure heat deposition in patients. As MRI technology advances SAR monitoring has become extremely important, especially in patients with active implants.
Dr. Fahrenholtz explains what 🔥SAR🔥 is and the things we can do to reduce it.

Aegys is committed to providing innovative product and process solutions that enhance overall magnet safety and improve efficiency. TechGate Auto is a Zone 4 Barrier System that keeps patients and MRI technologists safe. TechGate Auto allows technologists to focus on the care of patients and efficient room turnaround rather than worrying about anyone entering the MRI room behind them. Easy to use and designed for the MRI environment, TechGate Auto is deployed whenever the technologist enters or leaves the MR room or via push-button remote control, providing an immediate physical restriction of access to all unauthorized individuals.
The use of a “caution” barrier at the entrance to the MR room is now a recommendation of the American College of Radiology MR Safety Committee.

Apologies to Dr. Fahrenholtz for the typo his Lower Third Title Pop-up. It should say Dr. Samuel Fahrenholtz not Fahrenholz. Thanks again Dr. Fahrenholtz for sharing your knowledge and passion on our Podcast. 😊

I use the internal t/r coil for patient's of size in our High field open. Good images for the situation.

Nice job Samuel.

Fever is mentioned in MRI safety literature.

Hi all,
I am struggling to pass the armrit test. Any suggestions?

[@charliemcintyre6902]

We need some high field vertical testing to scan conditional active implants! :)

We need to do an episode on high field open! I wonder who our guest should be. 😉 I have alot of questions and I'm sure alot of technologist who never work with an HFO do too.
