Running an efficient MR department means constant multitasking by the technologists. To organize the schedule and provide excellent patient care, technologists must do a whole lot more than ‘just’ scanning. For instance, they have to juggle positioning the current patient, debriefing the previous patient and instructing the next patient. And they need to prepare contrast, refill supplies, perform administrative tasks, consult with the radiologist, and much more besides.
Our MRI workflow is designed to make system operation by a single person more time efficient*, reducing superfluous activities and allowing the technologist to focus where it matters. From the moment your patient is set up through to the time the images are ready for reading, it offers the opportunity to run your examinations in one smart touch. With the new VitalScreen, you can easily adjust your imaging strategies and start your exam from the patient side with a single touch. When you close the door of the exam room, the system starts to scan instantaneously using SmartStart. From there, SmartExam** adaptive intelligence is planning and running the ExamCard protocol in the background. Finally, SmartLine automatically postprocesses your images and transfers them to the PACS, readyforreading.
