Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool that does not rely on harmful ionizing radiation, but the MR scanner can cause anxiety in patients with claustrophobia. Empathy, respect, and communication from the radiation technologist might not eliminate anxiety in claustrophobic patients, but it can decrease their anxiety and allow them to complete the procedure. This requires MR technologists to have strong interpersonal skills and to spend more time with patients. However, the overall time spent is reduced because patients are less likely to cancel and examinations will not need to be repeated.

This quiz is the companion to the short report, "Claustrophobia-Related Anxiety During MR Imaging Examinations", which appears in the September/October 2022 Radiologic Technology journal.

This activity may be available in multiple formats or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat a self-learning activity for credit if it was reported in the same biennium. 

Free access is included with membership. All titles for which you have not previously earned CE credit appear in your CE library.
