Our hospital has two types of MRI machines : one is a resistive-type installed in March 1982 and the other is a superconducting-type installed in January 1984. The clinical tests of the resistive system carried out for the Japanese Drug Administration were finished in September 1982 and this type of machine (0.15T) was first approved in May 1983. The clinical tests of the superconducting system (0.35T & 0.5T) were performed in February 1985, but approval is still pending. In accordance with the experience I have obtain over the last three years concerning MRI, I am going to discuss about the role of MRI regarding radiological technologists, In my discussion. I will expand on such things as the controls of magnetic field circumstance safety, operations, maintenance, and so on.
