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?).

This year, the people at Mednovus, manufacturers of the SAFESCAN® line of ferromagnetic MRI screening tools have teamed up with Reliability Center, Inc. to bring you the full root cause analysis of this tragic event. See the sequence of events that happened that day, and uncover all of the root causes that led up to that day and beyond. what laid the foundation for this to occur? How could it be prevented from happening again? Join Tobias Gilk and Bob Latino in this movie and see how they drilled down to all of the root causes of this event.
