Pediatric MRI CE Course

This comprehensive course on Pediatric MRI is designed to equip technologists with the essential knowledge and practical strategies needed to perform safe, high-quality MRI examinations in infants, children, and adolescents. Participants will explore the unique clinical, technical, and communication challenges involved in pediatric MRI, including psychological preparation, play-based communication, caregiver involvement, MRI safety screening, IV placement, contrast considerations, and age-appropriate patient support.

The course also covers sedation principles, swaddling techniques, monitoring requirements, and key safety precautions that help improve cooperation and image quality during a pediatric MRI scan. In addition, learners will review protocol-focused instruction for common pediatric indications such as brain tumors, developmental delay, stroke, sickle cell disease, spinal tumors and dysraphism, hearing loss, cholesteatoma, and other specialized applications. Through practical guidance, real-world workflow considerations, and pediatric-focused imaging protocols, this course helps technologists strengthen their confidence, optimize patient care, and contribute to safer and more effective pediatric MRI practice.
