Randomized trial evaluates the impact of metal screening devices on MRI-related preventable harm, suggesting improved patient safety.

The aim is to provide a practical guide for implementing metal screening devices to enhance patient safety in MRI procedures.
Framework phases include pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation over 12 to 24 months.
Regression analysis using Interrupted Time Series to assess the reduction in MRI-related harm.
Post-MRI surveys conducted by telephone interview to collect data on patient-reported harm.
Implementation of metal screening devices is expected to prevent burn injuries during MRI procedures.
The value proposition indicates cost neutrality if even one moderate harm event is prevented within one year.
Improvement teams can adapt this framework to evaluate costs, efficiency, and effectiveness in their MRI departments.

Olsen et al. (2026) studied this question.
