For patients with implants, preparing for an MRI can involve a significant amount of manual research. Radiology teams often need to identify the exact implant, locate the correct manufacturer documentation and confirm the conditions under which it can safely be scanned.
This was the problem we started working on together with the Diagnostic Imaging Department at Nordsjællands Hospital.
Co-developing inside a working department
In 2023, the department began testing and co-developing NordInsight as a way to make MRI safety information for implants and medical devices easier to find. The goal was not to replace manufacturer documentation, but to help clinical teams reach the relevant information faster and more consistently.
From testing to clinical implementation
The collaboration progressed from testing into clinical implementation and was later nominated for the Health Tech Implementation Award.
The project was also highlighted in connection with the award process, where the collaboration between NordInsight and Nordsjællands Hospital was recognised as an example of how close cooperation between healthcare professionals and technology companies can support successful implementation of new health technology. The nomination and collaboration were covered by Danish Life Science Cluster via Ritzau.
In the department's words
“We have had an exciting and rewarding collaboration with NordInsight throughout the development of the platform. The entire process has been characterized by mutual respect, openness, and a genuine willingness to listen.
From the very beginning, the focus has been on creating a robust, user-friendly, and safe solution. NordInsight has helped establish standardized and reliable workflows while providing greater confidence for both radiologists and radiographers.”

What the work reinforced
For NordInsight, the work with Nordsjællands Hospital reinforced a principle that continues to guide how we build: MRI safety tools need to fit into existing radiology workflows and make trusted source information easier to access.
