MRI Ferromagnetic Detector System: Fatigue Study
Abstract:
*Ferromagnetic detectors capable of alerting MRI operators to potentially lethal projectile risks have been proven to increase patient safety. What is less well known is how such benefits may change over time. *The staff was involved in the whole study as they were trained on the use of the system, asked to record events that alerted the detector, and participated in follow up conversations about the impact of the systems and concerns or questions. *While a metal detection system is capable of reducing the number of incidents in which metal objects are brought into the MRI suite, technologists do become fatigued with the alarms in an MRI system and do not always consciously hear it.
