Introduction: Modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners utilise superconducting magnets that are permanently active. Patients and healthcare professionals have been known to unintentionally introduce ferromagnetic objects into the scanning room. In this study, we evaluated the projectile risk of Singapore coinage as well as some common healthcare equipment within a 3 T MRI scanner.

Design: Prospective in situ experimental study.
Setting: Clinical 3 T MRI scanner.
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the collaborative teaching of a multi- disciplinary team on the introductory online radiology session for the Master of Nursing students.
Background: The teaching method for basic radiology reading for the Master of Nursing program was delivered via a 4-hour didactic face-to-face lesson and was ineffective as evidenced by the students' feedback and evaluation. Therefore, a multi-disciplinary team consisting of nursing, medical and radiology staff developed a 4-week online radiology session to enhance knowledge, attitudes and confidence of the Master of Nursing students in interpreting basic chest radiographs, abdominal radiographs and computed tomographic brain scans.
