Abstract
Expanding imaging indications and increasing patient complexity have created an increasing burden on radiologists for MRI safety related concerns and queries, especially related to implantable devices and foreign bodies. We present a single institution experience identifying deficiencies in radiologist MRI safety education and the subsequent implementation of a module-based training system. Using a pre- and post- intervention analysis, we demonstrated that 39% of institutional radiologists did not feel comfortable making MRI safety related decisions. Following a structure modular educational intervention, 95% of participants reported increased confidence in making MRI safety related decisions. We hope our institutional experience can highlight the need for MRI safety education and serve as a framework for future implementations preventing exam delays, inappropriate cancelations, or adverse safety events.
