Radiation survey physicist

MRI Annual Medical Physics Survey. Acceptance testing in accordance with ACR and AAPM established guidelines and procedures, and equipment bid specification assistance for new MRI units or major component upgrade. Annual performance evaluations meeting the ACR Quality Control and Standards requirements. This includes measurements for slice thickness accuracy, high contrast spatial resolution, low contrast resolution, slice location accuracy, radiofrequency inter-slice interference, geometry, artifact evaluation, magnetic field homogeneity, monitor luminance, and hard copy image evaluation. Annual performance testing on all RF coils to include signal-to-noise measurements, image intensity uniformity, percent signal ghosting, artifact evaluation, and center frequency measurements. Annual review of clinical imaging parameters to ensure that parameters continue to meet or exceed ACR recommendations. Annual review of onsite MRI QC Program; quarterly and/or semi-annual review of the MRI quality control program. Results faxed or mailed to office for review. Initial/annual evaluation of magnetic field lines with emphasis on the 5 gauss line in scan room and adjacent areas. Acceptance testing in accordance with ACR, NEMA and AAPM established guidelines and procedures and equipment bid specification assistance for new MRI units or major component upgrades. Notification of regulatory changes and/or updates. ASRT approved continuing education credits for Radiological Technologists in the areas of MRI quality control and safety.
