FEATURED Programs
Imaging Bulk Package: A Compliant Solution in the CT Suite
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT and CRA    Format: Audio Visual    Run Time: 60 Minutes
Since the 1990’s, multi-patient contrast administration has been available in the form of the Pharmacy Bulk Package (PBP), which is still offered by several contrast vendors. The FDA required that all related Prescribing Information (PI) sheets for the PBP include specific directions for the dispensing of the contrast from the PBP container. The PI language describes withdrawing the contrast from the bottle in a suitable work area, specifically “a laminar flow hood, using aseptic techniques”. However, this method is not possible in most CT Suites, as laminar flow hoods are generally located in the Pharmacy, not the CT suite.
This Expert Forum reviews the steps taken by the contrast media industry and the FDA to develop a safe and compliant solution for multi-patent contrast administration in CT. This solution is now available as the Imaging Bulk Package (IBP) which is approved for use in the CT Suite. This panel will also share their comprehensive process for incorporating IBP into their clinical practice.
Vueway™ (Gadopiclenol): Practical Considerations for Use
Credits: 0.75 Category A, ARRT and CRA   Format: Audio Visual   Run Time: 60 Minutes
In 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Vueway™ (gadopiclenol) injection, a macrocyclic, high relaxivity agent that represents a significant advancement in terms of efficacy and safety. This paper compares the properties, mechanism-of-action, dosing, efficacy, and safety of the currently available GBCAs to the new agent Vueway.
Gadopiclenol | Considerations for Use in Pediatric MRI
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT and CRA   Format: Audio Visual   Run Time: 60 Minutes
This educational program featuring Dr. Shreyas Vasanawala will cover pediatric MR imaging applications using Gadopiclenol, a recently approved gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCAs).
Following a brief review of the literature and the currently available GBCAs, Dr. Vasanawala will discuss practice considerations as they relate to MRI contrast media selection and dose administration. Additionally, Dr. Vasanawala will share several case studies demonstrating the clinical value and benefits of Gadopiclenol for patients who may present with complex pathology and/or who may be subject to repeat contrast-enhanced MRI exams over their lifetime.
SPECIAL Interest
MRI Safety Considerations for Implants and Devices
Credits: 1.5 Category A, ARRT and CRA
Format: Audio Visual
Run Time: 90 Minutes
This accredited program provides a comprehensive overview of MRI safety considerations for passive / active implants, and devices.
When considering patient safety during MR imaging, it is critical to assess the patient’s history and have a clear understanding of any passive and or active implants and/or devices. The ACR Manual on MR Safety states that the Radiologist is responsible for the safety of the patient undergoing the MRI Exam. They are also responsible for implementing MR Safety policies and procedures and ensuring that the facilities’ personnel adhere to them at all time. Regarding implants and devices, regular reviews and updates to the MRI safety policy should be completed.
With more than 35 years of experience in the field of MRI, the author of the best-selling textbook series, the Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Implants and Devices, and the creator of the internationally popular website, www.MRIsafety.com, Dr. Frank G. Shellock is uniquely qualified to present this important MRI Safety information designed for MRI Imaging professionals.
MRI Safety Considerations For The Radiologist
Credits: 1.5 Category A, ARRT and CRA
Format: Audio Visual   
Run Time: 90 Minutes
This accredited program provides a comprehensive overview of MRI safety including the radiologist's responsibilities and liabilities, MRI staff education and patient safety. It is designed specifically for practicing radiologists, fellows, residents, and healthcare professionals who oversee MRI services and will provide practical guidance from two respected MRI safety educators who present information on accepted safety standards of care based on the 2020 ACR Manual on MR Safety, the 2021 FDA Guidance Document, and a review of the literature.
Program Considerations: It is critical to have established MRI safety protocols and to have a clear understanding of the basics of MRI Safety. The ACR Manual on MR Safety states that the Radiologist is responsible for the safety of the patient undergoing the MRI Exam. They are also responsible for implementing MR Safety policies and procedures and ensuring that the facilities’ personnel adhere to them at all time. These MRI safety policies should be reviewed and updated annually in order to prevent patient injury.
