Synopsis

Keywords: Transferable skills: Safety

In Toronto in 2008, Titti and Johan began their collaboration with increasing awareness of MRI safety in Sweden. In the beginning it was difficult to get a response and we thought a lot about how to proceed. But after 10 years, we had the opportunity to present MR safety work at the Swedish national conference The Radiology Week. The response was very great and half a year later we were able to organize a 2-days workshop where radiographers, radiologists and MR physicists lectured. The auditorium also consisted of radiographers, radiologists and MR physicists – just as we wanted!

We have since influenced our national professional associations for radiographers, radiologists and MR physicists. In 2021, we were able to create the Swedish Alliance for MRI-Safety and have issued our first recommendations in 2022. The group had presentations in the Swedish national conference The Radiology Week 2021 and 2022 and this spring we had a well-attended and appreciated workshop in MR-safety.
