Turnaround time and efficiency of pediatric outpatient brain magnetic resonance imaging: a multi-institutional cross-sectional study

Background Aside from single-center reports, few data exist across pediatric institutions that examine overall MRI turnaround time (TAT) and the determinants of variability. Objective To determine average duration and determinants of a brain MRI examination at academic pediatric institutions and com...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Aside from single-center reports, few data exist across pediatric institutions that examine overall MRI turnaround time (TAT) and the determinants of variability. Objective To determine average duration and determinants of a brain MRI examination at academic pediatric institutions and compare the duration to those used in practice expense relative value units (RVUs). Materials and methods This multi-institutional cross-sectional investigation comprised four academic pediatric hospitals. We included children ages 0 to
