Advanced Magnetic Resonance Safety Expert (MRSE)

About Course

The Advanced Magnetic Resonance Safety Expert (MRSE) course is a comprehensive professional training programme designed for medical physicists, radiographers, engineers, and healthcare professionals responsible for ensuring the safety of magnetic resonance (MR) environments.

The course provides an in-depth understanding of the physical principles, regulatory standards, and practical safety management strategies essential for advanced MR operations.

Participants will learn to identify and mitigate risks associated with high-field MR systems, evaluate safety procedures for patients and staff, and ensure compliance with international safety regulations and best practices. The course combines theoretical knowledge with case studies and simulations to develop expert-level competence in MR safety oversight.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the physics and engineering principles underlying MR system operation and implications.
• Evaluate and control static, gradient, and radiofrequency (RF) field exposures in MR settings.
• Implement advanced MR safety protocols for patients, staff, and equipment.
• Conduct risk assessments and design MR safety zones in compliance with IEC and NHS guidelines.
• Identify and manage MR-related hazards, including projectile risks, implant interactions, and RF burns.
• Ensure compliance with international safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601, ASTM, NHS MR Safety Standards).
• Develop and lead MR safety training programmes within healthcare or research organisations.
