Key result
Multidisciplinary safety protocols and specialized nursing roles facilitate safe intraoperative MRI-guided tumor resection.
Why the study?
An intraoperative MRI suite is a high-risk zone requiring well-defined safety procedures to avoid adverse events related to magnetic forces.
Population
Patients undergoing surgery in an intraoperative MRI suite at one facility
Comparison
Safety plan with multidisciplinary steering committee and new perioperative nursing roles vs prior practice without these measures
Design
Implementation of safety plan with multidisciplinary approach and new nursing roles

Should not yet alter iMRI practice; hypothesis-generating for safety protocols pending controlled studies.
Establishing specific safety procedures and dedicated nursing roles is essential for the safe operation of intraoperative MRI suites.
Hemingway et al. (2013) studied this question. Intraoperative MRI safety plan was evaluated. Implementation of a multidisciplinary safety plan and specialized nursing roles for an intraoperative MRI suite facilitated safe intraoperative tumor resection.
