Assessing Awareness, Knowledge, Perceptions, and Safety Practices Among Patients Regarding MRI Scans in the Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia
The study found that while over half of participants felt informed about MRI risks and safety, there are still significant knowledge gaps. Most who had undergone an MRI felt their experiences increased their understanding. Demographic factors did not significantly affect knowledge levels. The findings suggest the need for targeted educational interventions, with online platforms and social media being effective tools for reaching a broader audience.
