Most radiology departments are well aware of MR imaging safety hazards, yet few have implemented the measures necessary to prevents accidents.

Noted imaging expert Beverly G. Coleman, MD, was among the many new officers elected this during the ACR's annual meeting.

"Millions” more Americans will now receive private insurance coverage for this “vital” test, but radvocates want Medicare to take action, too. 

Despite this, 93% of rads surveyed would choose to re-enter the specialty if they were given the option.
