Zusammenfassung

Mit steigender Zahl kernspintomographischer Untersuchungen in Kliniken und Praxen sowie bei rasanter Weiterentwicklung kernspintomographischer Untersuchungstechniken tritt die Frage nach Patientenüberwachung und -Sicherheit immer mehr in den Vordergrund. Von Seiten der Hersteller von Kernspintomographen und von der Legislative wird diesem Problem nur eingeschränkt Rechnung getragen, so daß Eigeninitiative der untersuchenden Institutionen erforderlich ist. Nicht zuletzt auch aus forensischen Gründen sollte ein Überwachungskonzept mit geeigneten Geräten und sorgfältiger Dokumentation in allen Instituten entwickelt werden, die Kernspintomographie betreiben. In diesem Beitrag soll erörtert werden, wie die adäquate Patientenüberwachung bei kernspintomographischen Untersuchungen zu planen und durchzuführen ist.

Summary

With the continuously growing number of MRI examinations and the enormously rapid application of new technical developments, patient monitoring and safety aspects become an increasingly important issue. The vendors of MRI systems and the legislation tend to underestimate and ignore these problems. Therefore the institutions which operate MRI units have to find solutions by their own initiative. Not only due to forensic reasons a monitoring concept should be developed with suitable equipment and careful documentation in any institution operating an MRI unit. This article discusses the planning, implementation and conduct of adequate patient monitoring during MRI examinations.
