Abstract
Recently, the penetration rate of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is higher than the average among OECD member countries, and the number of MRI scans is increasing. However, MRI scans take longer than other medical devices, and patient movement must be minimized. Therefore, patient discomfort always follows. When the examination is performed in the discomfort of the patient, it is difficult to perform an accurate examination, and it is difficult to obtain an image of diagnostic value. So, in the past, the patient was asked to read the written guide for the risk and cooperation of MRI, but it was composed of technical terms and difficult-to-understand sentences, so it was difficult to understand. The purpose of this study is to supplement these problems and increase the understanding of MRI scans to help acquire images of diagnostic value. In addition, it is intended to evaluate the excellence of leaflet education by evaluating the understanding and satisfaction of patients. As shown in the results of this study, understanding and satisfaction scores were higher after education than before leaflet education, and it was found that there was a difference in understanding according to academic background. However, there was no difference in the number of MRI scans. That is, there was no difference in the number of inspections due to leaflet education. In the future, leaflet education will be widely used for MRI examination, and it is necessary to study the qualitative evaluation of images after leaflet education in the future.
