Who should be in visual or verbal contact with non-MR personnel in restricted areas?

The correct choice is that a specifically identified level 2 MR person should be in visual or verbal contact with non-MR personnel in restricted areas. This is crucial for safety because level 2 MR personnel are trained to understand the specific hazards associated with MRI environments, including the presence of strong magnetic fields and the potential risks to non-MR personnel.

Their knowledge allows them to effectively monitor the situation, provide appropriate guidance, and take necessary actions to mitigate any risks. This ensures that non-MR personnel are safely escorted and that the integrity of both the MRI environment and the safety of individuals is maintained. Other personnel, such as security, may not possess the specialized training required to handle potential emergencies or safety concerns that could arise in an MRI suite. This specialized training is necessary to ensure compliance with safety protocols and to maintain a safe environment for everyone involved.
