title: The pilot study of radiology nursing intervention in abdominal 3-T Magnetic Resonance examination.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of radiology nursing intervention in abdominal examination at 3-T MRI.
  
  
  METHODS
  60 patients with abdominal diseases were divided into two groups randomly: MR nursing intervention group and control group. All the patients underwent abdominal MR examination at 3-T. The MR nursing interventions were performed in nursing intervention group. The outcomes, including one-time success rate, the ratio of diagnosable MR images and the points of image quality, were compared between these two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The one-time success rates in control group and MR nursing intervention group were 66.67% and 96.67% with significant difference ( χ2 =9.017, P<0.05). The ratios of diagnosable images in the two groups were 76.67% and 96.67% with significant difference (χ2 =5.192, P<0.05). The points of MR image quality in the two groups were 1.87±0.86 and 2.33±0.55, respectively. There was significant difference between these two groups (t=-2.508, P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The effective nursing intervention can make the patients cooperation better in abdominal MR examination and improve the image quality significantly.
