Abstract:
A patient attended for an MRI scan wearing Heattech thermal clothing. Following the scan, the patient experienced a heating and sunburn sensation over their back. Further investigation has highlighted one similar event to this internationally due to the clothing technology used. The intention of this report is to raise awareness of the potential for this clothing technology to cause thermal injury when worn within MRI, as well as to further emphasise the importance of assessing patient clothing prior to scanning.
