This study was undertaken at the MRI Unit at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. The specific objectives of study were to identify safety policies regarding the operations of the MRI unit and whether they conform to international standards. Additionally, it sought to ascertain adherence and compliance of the policy guidelines and to evaluate the design features of the MRI suite for its safety compatibility as well as to determine the safety train‐ ing needs of radiographers who operate the MRI.

The study focused on the safe use of MRI as an imaging modality and involved radiogra‐ phers of the Radiology Department. A member of the Hospital Management Team also par‐ ticipated in the study since the management members are responsible for the safety policies formulation and ensuring their implementation at the MRI unit.
