Magnetic resonance imaging is a commonly used imaging modality in medical procedures. Despite its prevalent use, unexpected adverse events such as burns can occur during an MRI procedure. The majority of the transmitted Radio Frequency power can be converted into heat within the patient's tissue due to resistive losses, leading to such incidents. In this study, we present an intriguing case of a patient who experienced an MRI-induced burn, presumably caused by the copper dye in the patient's gown. Notably, we observed frequent distortion of the MR image due to the patient's gown. The awareness and understanding of such potential adverse events are critical for clinicians and technicians to prevent future occurrences. Through this study, we aim to contribute to this critical area of patient safety during MRI procedures.
磁共振成像在医疗程序中是一种常用的成像方式。尽管其使用普遍，但在磁共振成像程序中仍可能发生意外不良事件，如烧伤。由于电阻损耗，大部分传输的射频功率会在患者组织内转化为热量，从而导致此类事件。在本研究中，我们展示了一个有趣的病例，一名患者经历了磁共振成像诱发的烧伤，推测是由患者手术服中的铜染料引起的。值得注意的是，我们观察到由于患者的手术服，磁共振图像频繁出现失真。对于临床医生和技术人员来说，意识到并了解此类潜在不良事件对于预防未来事件的发生至关重要。通过本研究，我们旨在为磁共振成像程序中患者安全这一关键领域做出贡献。
