MRI Safety Guidelines

MRI safety guidelines ensure that individuals and staff are protected from potential risks associated with magnetic fields and radio waves. Before an MRI, patients are screened for metal implants, devices, or fragments, as these can be attracted or damaged by the magnet. It’s important to remove metal objects, jewelry, and electronic devices. Pregnancy status should be disclosed, though MRI is generally safe during pregnancy. Patients must remain still during the scan for clear images. Trained staff follow strict protocols to prevent accidents or injuries, making MRI a safe, non-invasive way to obtain detailed internal images.
