MRI Nursing

MRI nursing involves specialized care for patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Nurses in this field prepare patients by explaining the procedure, addressing any concerns, and ensuring they are safe and comfortable. They assess for any contraindications, such as metal implants, which may interfere with the MRI. During the scan, nurses monitor vital signs and assist patients, especially those who may experience anxiety or claustrophobia. Their role is crucial in maintaining a calm environment and ensuring that the imaging process runs smoothly and effectively, contributing to accurate diagnostic results.
