MRI SAFETY TRAINING

The AU MRI Research Center is offering regularly-scheduled seminars on MRI safety. These seminars cover general MRI safety and AU MRI Research Center MRI safety policies and procedures. Attending an MRI Safety Seminar is required to obtain safety level qualification. There is no charge for these seminars. The MRI Safety Seminars will be offered the first Monday and third Tuesday of each month from 3:30-4:30 in the MRI Center Conference Room. Our facility is located at 560 Devall Drive Suite 202. To register, email Ron Beyers (rjb0018@auburn.edu).
