Abstract
Since the introduction of the American College of Radiology (ACR) MRI safety guidelines in 2002, the indications for use of MRI in clinical care and research have continued to expand. Similarly, MRI technologies have evolved, with multiple field strengths now available for human imaging. While several publications have updated the ACR recommendations since the first guidelines, a single source in a structured format was lacking. Accordingly, the ACR Committee on MR Safety recently updated the online ACR Manual on MR Safety that compiles ACR recommendations for safe use of MRI equipment in humans into a single document. This review describes the new structure of the ACR Manual on MR Safety, discusses new content, indicates gaps in knowledge that require further research, and explains the rationale for the Committee on MR Safety recommendations on certain topics, such as remote operation of MRI systems.
