The antimicrobial effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in preventing HCAIs and their effects on imaging quality were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n The antimicrobial effects of AgNPs were tested on prevalent contact-transmitted pathogens present in radiology examination rooms, including methicillin-resistant\n Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE),\n Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Acinetobacter baumannii<\/jats:italic>\n . Furthermore, we investigated the effects of AgNPs on X-ray image quality using humanoid head and hand phantom.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n AgNPs did not affect the quality of X-ray images. They had antimicrobial effects against Gram-positive\n Bacillus<\/jats:italic>\n , including MRSA, VRE, and Gram-negative\n Bacillus<\/jats:italic>\n , including\n P. aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n and\n
