Article Synopsis
  • The study explores a blended learning model bootcamp for first-year radiology residents, aimed at addressing the varying levels of radiology knowledge among trainees.
  • Over four weeks, 20 radiology residents from two cohorts participated in the bootcamp, with their progress measured through subjective surveys and an objective exam.
  • Results showed significant improvements in both radiology confidence and exam performance, supporting the effectiveness of this instructional approach for new residents.

Objective: As healthcare delivery systems expand to include multiple imaging centers, the process of scheduling patients at the site which best meets their needs continues to become more complex. This quality improvement study aims to create a protocol for patients with metallic hardware at sites with metallic artifact reduction sequences (MARS), increasing the proportion of exams that are diagnostic and reducing the need for repeat imaging.

Materials And Methods: The study population included 322 patients with metallic hardware receiving an MRI at a large multisite healthcare system, divided into a pre-intervention and postintervention cohort.
