description Background: In health care industry, incident reporting systems are considered effective instruments to learn from adverse events and errors and improve the quality of health care of all the stake holders. The present study has analyzed the challenges and barriers facing the medical staff to report incidents and events in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) practices in government hospitals of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A well-structured MRI safety questionnaire was the primary data collection method, utilizing a quantitative descriptive, cross-sectional survey to highlight the challenges and barriers to incidents reporting in MRI practices. Data were subjected to statistical analysis, and the results have been presented with comprehensive discussions. Results: The data showed that the fear of retribution, fear of being questioned or interrogated, getting the supervisorons.ection method, reporting, and fear of damage to workers' reputation are the most significant parries that can prevent MRI personnel from reporting, leading to safety issues. Conclusions: Our findings provide an overview of the hurdles to MRI event/incident reporting in the perceptions of governmental hospitals as well as a number of suggestions for how institutions might minimize these barriers to encourage MRI staff to report.
