Episode 5 - Lost in Translation

---

Hello and welcome to Conditional 1. My name is James Whittaker and I am an MRI Technologist from New Zealand with an interest in MRI Safety.

This episode I’m going to be taking things back to basics and looking at one of the fundamentals, not just of MRI safety but MRI in general. I’m talking about the ‘M’ in MRI – magnetism. More specifically the static magnetic field. 

I'm going to focus on the static magnetic field (B0) and the static magnetic field gradient (dB/dx) and their interactions with metallic objects both ferrous and non-ferrous.

Had a near miss with a projectile in the scan room? This episode will give you all the information you need. 

Do you have any projectile stories? I'd like to hear them. Email me at podcast@conditional1.com
