Incident reports of bringing ferromagnetic objects into the magnetic resonance imaging room in the past 10 years

Motivation: The fatal accidents in the MRI room are caused by the bringing of ferromagnetic objects. It is necessary to identify the trends in incidents. Goal(s): Our goal was to investigate the relationship between the frequency of bringing ferromagnetic objects and years of MRI experience. Approach: We compiled incident reports for the past 10 years, extracted reports related to the bringing of ferromagnetic objects. Results: There were 26 reports of ferromagnetic objects brought introduced, and half of the reports were from technologists with less than one year of MRI experience. Impact: In order to prevent the adsorption accidents of the ferromagnetic objects, it is important to understand the causes of such incidents and the characteristics of our own facilities. Sharing this survey will lead to the prevention of similar incidents.
