Abstract
Purpose: This study was to investigate the cases of ferromagnetic objects brought into the MRI room by using incident reports.
Methods: We included incident reports on ferromagnetic objects brought into the MRI room over the past 10 years from January 2012 to December 2021. We investigated the incidence rate of the ferromagnetic objects into the MRI room, the cause for bringing ferromagnetic objects, the number of years of MRI experience, the time of occurrence, and the names of ferromagnetic objects.
Results: There were 248 incident reports, including 26 cases related to the ferromagnetic objects. The frequency of occurrence shows that the highest number of cases occurred within the first year of experience, accounting for approximately half of the case related to MRI staff. For newcomers, there are more incidents in the second quarter than in other quarters.
Conclusion: The number of cases of bringing in ferromagnetic objects was higher in the second quarter as there was less experience with MRI.
