With preventable skin burns and thermal injuries continuing to be experienced by patients undergoing an MRI scan, it's vital to share strategies to improve MRI safety practices which prevent such adverse events. The literature regarding MRI safety guidance to prevent patient skin burns is fragmented and potentially confusing. This poster seeks to summarise the risks of thermal injuries to patients who undergo an MRI examination and to provide practical ways to mitigate the risks. Assessing individual risks, rather than blanket policies, will help prevent skin thermal injuries occurring, improving patient care.
