JUNE 5, 2024
MRI safety oversight is spotty at best, with gaps "big enough to drive a truck through," according to Tobias Gilk, founder of Gilk Radiology Consultants in Overland Park, KS, and senior vice president of Radiology-Planning in Mission, KS. The situation impacts not only patient care but also how radiology staff offer that care, and it must be mitigated, Gilk told AuntMinnie.com in an interview during which he outlined his experience trying to track down information on a few MRI accidents that occ
