Investigating the experiences of New Zealand MRI technologists: Exploring intra-orbital metallic foreign body safety practices.

Introduction: Qualitative research is lacking regarding the experiences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologists and their involvement in workplace safety practices. This article provides a gateway to explore, describe and document experiences of MRI technologists in New Zealand (NZ) pertaining to intra-orbital metallic foreign body (IMFB) safety practices.

Methods: This phenomenological study describes the experiences of seven MRI technologists all with a minimum of 5 years' NZ work experience in MRI.
