Authors are commending an MRI safety report in an editorial published January 17 in Insights into Imaging. However, they also pointed out that radiographers must be more involved in discussions about safety.
The authors, led by members of the European Curriculum for Safety Officers in MRI (ESCO-MRI), wrote that the safety report, titled "The European MR Safety Landscape," underscores the need for harmonized MRI safety practices across Europe. However, they added that the article does not reference the "extensive contributions" from the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS).
The authors added that it is essential to consider the role of radiographers in ensuring a safe and standardized MRI environment across Europe.
"The ongoing efforts by radiographers and the EFRS must be included in this dialogue, as they are integral to the continuous improvement and future development of MR safety standards," they wrote.
