Aims & learning outcomes

To enhance the MR radiographer role through education, such that patients undergo MR scanning safely, while MR work flows are streamlined.

to allow radiographers to establish departmental & hospital trust level policies & protocols for an enhanced MR radiographer role in metallic IOFB radiograph review
to provide radiographers with the knowledge base to request orbital radiographs in appropriate clinical situations
to train & test radiographers in the detection of metallic IOFBs on orbital radiographs, in the context of MR practice
to enable immediate point-of-contact MR scanning decision making by MR radiographers, thereby:
- enhancing patient safety (patients with metallic IOFBs are not scanned)
- optimising MR work flow (scanning slots are not sacrificed; re-booking patients is minimized)

Our Programme Director, Prof Andrew Farrall, provides more information about the IOFB Review course in this video
