The MRI Safety Myth: “No Radiation” Doesn’t Mean No Risk with Tobias Gilk30 jul26 min

In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with Tobias Gilk, a world renowned healthcare architect and certified MRI safety expert. Moving beyond the standard industry assumption that MRI is entirely risk free due to its lack of ionizing radiation, Gilk pulls back the curtain on the critical, unique physical hazards lurking inside the magnet room. From analyzing tragic projectile accidents to tracing why modern imaging workflows are fundamentally broken, this conversation explores how true safety in radiology requires rethinking the architecture of patient screening from the ground up.
