In this episode, Robert and Reggie speak with Kelly Mantooth, an MR Safety expert, about RF burns in MRI. They discuss the definition of RF burns, how they differ from overall heating (SAR), the four types of burns (proximity, looping, resonant, and reflective), statistics on RF burns, causes, preventative measures, treatment, and personal experiences.

Kelly shares stories from her career that influenced her passion for MR safety.
