Event Description
|
It was reported that a patient penetrated the scan window during a ct scan; sustaining a scratch.While there was no serious injury, penetration of the scan window during scanning could result in a serious injury.Serious injury is not likely since the scan window itself is designed to distance the patient from rotating parts while affording diagnostic image quality.Serious injury is not the normally anticipated outcome associated with patient motion issues.
