What is MRI safety screening?

MRI safety screening is the questionnaire a patient completes before an MRI to identify anything that makes the scan unsafe or needs review first, such as a pacemaker or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, or kidney problems relevant to contrast. Qualified staff review the answers before the patient enters the scanner room.

Screening that is incomplete on the day of the exam delays the scan or cancels it, and the slot is usually too late to refill. Collecting it before arrival is what protects the schedule.

Echo Booking sends the practice's own screening form ahead of the appointment, follows up until it is completed, and flags patients who have not responded. Echo collects answers; clinical review of them stays with the practice's staff.

Hear it for yourself

A real call from inquiry to booked appointment.

Press play and read along. Echo answers, switches language mid-call, reads live openings straight out of the calendar while it is still talking, then writes the booking back into it. Nothing is left queued for staff to finish afterwards.
