University Cambridge's Wolfson Brain Centre MRI Site visit

In this episode of Zone 3 Podcast, we hang out with Victoria Lupson, Radiography and Logistics Manager at the University of Cambridge Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. Vickie takes us around the Facility where we get to see their 3T PETMR, 3T Prisma, and 7T Terra.
We talk about everything from Research to their workflow for scanning Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Clinical patients.

About our Sponsor:
Aegys is an innovative leader in the MRI safety industry and the Creator of The TechGate Automatic.
Aegys is committed to providing innovative product and process solutions that enhance overall magnet safety and improve efficiency. TechGate Auto is a Zone 4 Barrier System that keeps patients and MRI technologists safe. TechGate Auto allows technologists to focus on the care of patients and efficient room turnaround rather than worrying about anyone entering the MRI room behind them. Easy to use and designed for the MRI environment, TechGate Auto is deployed whenever the technologist enters or leaves the MR room or via push-button remote control, providing an immediate physical restriction of access to all unauthorised individuals.

The use of a “caution” barrier at the entrance to the MR room is now a recommendation of the American College of Radiology MR Safety Committee.
