Patient safety investigative methods identify contributors to canine magnetic resonance imaging dermatologic thermal injuries in an academic hospital

Key Points

This research aims to uncover the causes of thermal burns associated with MRI in dogs to enhance patient safety.
Investigated incidents of MRI-associated thermal burns in dogs
Conducted histologic analysis to confirm thermal injuries
Analyzed MRI output as a potential contributing factor
Confirmed the presence of thermal injuries through histologic examination
Identified MRI output as a key factor in causing thermal burns
Emphasized the need for improved safety protocols during MRI procedures

Abstract

The approach used to investigate MRI-associated thermal burns in this study highlights the importance of identifying root causes to improve system safety and ultimately prevent future harm. Histologic confirmation of thermal injury has not previously been reported in dogs and was important because it refocused the investigation on MRI output as a potential cause.
