Safety Issues

1. MRI Safety

• All visitors and subjects planning to enter the scan room must complete the MRI Screening Form. This form must be reviewed and approval must be given before entering the scan room. Remember, the magnet is always on!

• All metallic objects must be removed prior to entering the scan room.

• No objects or equipment may be taken into the MR scan room without prior approval.

Refer to MR Safety Training for more information.

2.  Radiation Safety

• Anyone that has not approved for working with radioactivity materials should not enter the PET/CT lab for any experiments.
• To become an authorized user of radioactive material, you must register with the UNC Environment, Health and Safety Department ( http://www.ehs.unc.edu/radiation/), and attend the mandatory radiation safety train course (http://www.ehs.unc.edu/training/schedule.shtml#rad).
• Anyone working with the radioactive materials should follow the guidelines for radiation safety, such as wearing radiation badge, wearing gloves to handle RAMs. The radiation safety manual can be found here: Radiation Safety Manual.
• To obtain a radiation dose monitor badge, please contact Bryan Yoder.
