1. Introduction

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been in clinical use for diagnosis diseases. At the time of introduction of this important diagnostic tool, there were many concerns about its safety and the effects of the different types of magnetic fields utilized in MRI on the body tissues

[1]

. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field in the body to produce detailed pictures of the inside in the body

[2]

. An MRI scan uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create a detailed, cross-sectional image of internal organs and structures. It is used to help diagnose variety of conditions within the chest, abdomen spine, brain and pelvis etc.

[3]

. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is safe for human body and there are no harms. But patients are feel many problems & impact several effect in health. Patients feel uncomfortable due to enclosed spaces

[4]

. If a person have any metal inside their body, such as bullets, shrapnel, or other metallic foreign bodies unable for MRI examination

[5]

. Patients have sometimes used an injection of intravenous (IV) contrast liquid to improve the visibility of a particular tissue that is relevant to the scan. Sometime contrast has reaction like as itching, rash, nausea, vomiting etc. Patients have feel discomfort and others problems due to examination time & sound. MRI examination used long time & loud sound

[6]

. Some of the patients feel phobia, discomfort and various type of problem due to lack of knowledge for MRI examination

[7]

. When previous conversation patient with MRI technologist for inform to MRI examination, many problems reduced

[8]

. The patients who have done MRI examination previously may feel better than new patients who come for MRI examination

[9]

. The potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been realized for early detection, diagnosis and personalized treatment of diseases. However, there are very few studies and limited data source regarding the knowledge, attitude and practice and health effects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) among the people of city level of Bangladesh in the national data base. Therefore, the researcher has designed this study. The aim of this paper was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and health effects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) among the patients attending in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh

5. Discussion

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic method in modern clinical medicine. Patients’ ‎‎knowledge about MRI is of utmost importance for optimizing the workflow, ‎safety, and patient comfort and saving valuable time for the MRI department. This study investigates patient knowledge levels regarding MRI safety before an MRI examination as well as the impacts of MRI on the patients’ health. This present study was conducted among 200 patients at the department of Radiology & Imaging (MRI) in Islami Bank Central Hospital & Popular Diagnostic Center. A total of 200 referred cases for MRI from OPD randomly enrolled in this study. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) and health impact of MRI among the patients attending in a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka city. The present study showed that the highest percentage 85(42.5%) of the study sample were in age group (46-60) years, while the lowest percentage 8(0%) of them belong to >68 years as shown in (Table 1). The present study showed that the highest percentage 66% of the study sample were male & 34% are Female. Regarding education level of the study patients, this study observed, the maximum, and 61(30.5%) were graduate and followed by 50(25%) HSC, 30(15%) SSC, 21(10.5%) Primary and 6(3%) no formal education (Table 2). These findings of our study are persistent with another study conducted in Saudi Arabia in 2022 by AM Dhafer et al,

[10]

. This present study observed Among the study patients, 110(55%) had previous knowledge about MRI. 35(17.5%) patients had previous knowledge about the health effect of MRI.74 (37%) patients have seen close contact of relative/family member to face MRI examination.196 (89%) patients opined conversation is very important before MRI examination. 177(88.5%) patients felt nervous to conduct MRI test. 92(46%) patients experienced MRI before to conduct this present one. A similar study was conducted by Alelyani M et al in 2021. In their study, they observed, the mean knowledge score regarding MRI safety was 0.29 ± 0.25, which reflects poor knowledge, whereas the attitude score was 0.67 ± 0.20, reflecting a moderately positive attitude. Awareness and attitude among patients improved as education levels increased. Finally, only 53.5% of the respondents were aware of the noise produced by the MRI scanner. The findings of this study are partially similar to this present study. Similar findings were also observed in some other studies.

[11, 12]

. This current study observed, the majority 112(56%) had MRI of spine and followed by 42(21%) brain, 26(13%) joints, 8(4%) abdomen, 4(2%) neck, 4(2%) prostet, 4(2%) breast and Regarding the sound impact of health, the maximum 110(55%) felt discomfort and followed by 16(8%) headache, 10(5%) irritation and 8(4%) dizziness. Regarding time impact of MRI on health, 86(43%) patients took long time and followed by 42(21%) medium time, 8(4%) very long time, 4(2%) short time. Regarding metal effect on health, the half, 100(50%) of the patients observed metal effect. Regarding problems faced by the patients during MRI, 78(39%) patients had MRI phobia, and followed by 12(6%) claustrophobia, 10(5%) nausea, 2(1%) breathlessness. Regarding injected by MRI contrast. The maximum patients 18(9%) had allergic reaction and followed by 8(4%) HTN, 2(1%) skin rash. Similar findings were also observed in some other studies

[13-14]

. Finally, this present study he study findings suggest that a complex combination of factors affects patient knowledge regarding MRI safety before an MRI examination. Hence, the hospital and radiological department must ‎‎provide the ‎patient with accurate information about MRI. The investigated findings of this present study will be a great use to the medical personnel as well as the patients and policy makers of Bangladesh.

6. Conclusion

This study investigated (55%) study patients had previous knowledge about MRI. (17.5%) patients had previous knowledge about the health effect of MRI.(37%) patients have seen close contact of relative/family member to face MRI examination,(89%) patients had positive attitude to conversation before MRI examination, 177(88.5%) patients felt nervous to conduct MRI test and (46%) patients practiced MRI. The major impacts of MRI on health were discomfort and MRI phobia.

7. Limitations of the Study

This was a duel center study with a purposive random sample size within a short study period. Therefore, the results of this study may not represent the whole country.

8. Recommendations

A multi-center study may be conducted with a large statistical sample size all over the country to justify, the results of this study. At the same time, the health personnel should disclose the impacts of MRI on health to the parties who had not practiced MRI before.

Ethical Approval

The ethical clearance of this study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of School of Public Health & Life Science, University of South Asia, and Dhaka, Bangladesh.
