MRI Accident happened on or about October 16, 2023, at a hospital in Bangladesh when a transport person brought the patient (on oxygen) into the MRI room (shared MRI / CT suite without zoning / access controls). No word yet on injuries.
Just look at how the base of the oxygen cylinder is folded-in from the force against the MRI scanner!
What should MRI safety governance *not* look like? A recent MRI accident gives some examples: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7095489322501492736/

Despite the fact that the ACGME minimum program requirements for Diagnostic Radiology Residency training (#radres) doesn't include minimum requirements for #MRIsafety training, they do offer this recommended #MRI #safety 'milestone' for radiology residency training programs.
If you're part of such a program and want to know where to get MRI safety training resources, please reach out to me.
If you know me, you know just how shy and reluctant I am to discuss MRI safety [*cough* *cough*]. This was a great discussion on MRI safety and its intersection with radiation oncology in the Out of the Gray podcast.
Tobias ‘Toby’ Gilk joins Out of the Gray to share his experience in MR safety and offers insights into how facilities might work to create the safest possible environment for staff and patients alike.
An investigative case-study on an MRI accident in which a shackled prisoner *and* guard both entered the MRI scanner room and got trapped against the MRI scanner...

Brace yourselves, people, for weird questions on Thursday...
Wednesday evening Chicago Med will be running an episode where a patient gets trapped against an MRI scanner by a gurney (a bit 'on the nose' at the moment).
Hat tip to the Lorenza Clausen who alerted me to this.
Two #MRI accidents several years apart, purportedly occurring in the same room at a hospital.
Question for you: How many ‘inconceivable’ accidents need to occur in the same facility before we recognize it as a pattern?
