One of the main tasks of the German Ultrahigh Field Imaging (GUFI) network was the establishment of a uniform online MRI safety training, created in cooperation with all German ultrahigh field (UHF) sites. Implemented with Moodle, the course provides basic MRI safety training and includes three lessons: "MRI Environment", "Subject Measurements" and "In Case of Emergencies". Participants have to pass tests, consisting of appropriate questions, at the end of each lesson. In total, 255 participants have successfully completed the course (since April 2018).
