MRI Safety Hazards & Projectile Risk

What causes projectile accidents?. Gravity. Magnet pull. Electricity. Heat.

MRI magnets attract: Plastic. Wood. Ferromagnetic metals. Glass.

Projectile accidents can cause: Minor issues. Serious injury or death. Image blur. Noise.

Common projectile items include: IV poles. Pillows. Paper. Foam pads.

Oxygen tanks are: Safe. Unsafe in MRI. Non-magnetic. Allowed.

Screening helps prevent: Noise. Heating. Projectile accidents. Long exams.

The magnet is strongest: Outside the room. Near the bore opening. In control room. Turned off.

Projectile incidents are: Rare and harmless. Serious and preventable. Common. Unavoidable.

Ferromagnetic detection systems are used to: Scan images. Detect metal. Measure noise. Control temperature.

Training reduces projectile risk by: Limiting access. Educating staff. Screening items. All of the above.

MRI safety zones help prevent: Confusion. Projectiles entering magnet room. Patient anxiety. Image distortion.

Handheld magnets are used to: Test strength. Detect metal. Clean equipment. Measure SAR.

MRI projectiles move: Slowly. Instantly and forcefully. Randomly. Only when scanning.

Who is responsible for preventing projectiles?. MRI technologist only. Patient. Everyone in MRI area. Security.

The best prevention method is: Warning signs only. Proper screening and training. Locks. Cameras.
