Can a board certified radiologist operate an MRI machine or do you need to be a tech to run the machine? I'm not talking about ability to run the thing but in terms of being allowed to.
 
Not sure how a boarded Rad would not be allowed to run a machine, given that we are responsible for its QA...

The bigger question is if anyone knows how. I am very familiar with Siemens consoles but other manufacturers use different parameters so you’d need to get used to them.
