description Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic scanning tool for the detection and monitoring of specific diseases and conditions. However, the equipment cost, maintenance and specialty training of the technologists make the examination expensive. Consequently, unnecessary scanner time caused by poor scheduling, repeated sequences, aborted sequences, scanner idleness, or capture of non-diagnostic or low-value sequences is an opportunity to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This paper analyzes data collected from log files on 29 scanners over several years. ‘Wasted’ time is defined and key performance indicators (KPIs) are identified. A decrease in exam duration results when actively modifying and monitoring the number of sequences that comprise the exam card for a protocol.
