2026 MRI Safety Workflow Benchmark Survey

How are MRI departments managing implant and foreign-body safety today?

NordInsight is conducting an industry-wide study of MRI safety workflows, including implant identification, documentation, standardization, audit readiness, and operational challenges. Respondents describing a US site will also be asked about adoption of MRI safety-related CPT® codes.

The results will be published as an aggregated benchmark report to help the MRI community compare practices and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Estimated completion time: 6–8 minutes; approximately 9 minutes for US respondents.

• Please answer for one site, or for a group of sites that uses substantially the same workflow.

• Individual responses will not be identified without explicit permission.

• Contact information is only required if you request the report or a follow-up.

• This survey is for benchmarking purposes and does not provide clinical, coding, or reimbursement guidance.
