MRI Safety Week was founded to celebrate and promote excellence in MRI safety. This is the anniversary of the tragic 2001 MRI death of young Michael Colombini, age 6, who died when a portable steel oxygen cylinder was brought into the MRI room during his exam. The 2011 observance marks the 10 year anniversary.
There are a number of special activities that professional MRI providers undertake during this week. Some involve patient education. Some are targeted towards informing referring physicians. Often MRI Safety Week is the trigger for annual renewals of safety training or inspections of MRI safety features (when was the last time everything in and on the crash cart was tested, or the cryogen vent pipe was inspected?).
