- Safety principles must be understood for both staff and patients in MRI environments.

## Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging-guided (MRI-guided) intervention has emerged as a rapidly growing field in interventional radiology centers worldwide, owing to its superior tissue contrast and ability to provide real-time imaging guidance without ionizing radiation. With the increasing adoption of MRI-guided intervention, it is important for interventionalists to understand the safety considerations for both staff and patients in the complex MRI and interventional environment. This article aims to provide an overview of the safety principles of MRI-guided interventions with reference to international guidelines and our local experience.
