Communication of Incidental Imaging Findings on Inpatient Discharge Summaries After Implementation of Electronic Health Record Notification System.

Objectives: Inadequate follow-up of incidental imaging findings (IIFs) can result in poor patient outcomes, patient dissatisfaction, and provider malpractice. At our institution, radiologists flag IIFs during report dictation to trigger electronic health record (EHR) notifications to providers and patients. Nurse coordinators directly contact patients or their primary care physicians (PCPs) regarding IIFs if follow-up is not completed within the recommended time frame.

Low-Field-Strength Body MRI: Challenges and Opportunities at 0.55 T.

Advances in MRI technology have led to the development of low-field-strength (hereafter, "low-field") (0.55 T) MRI systems with lower weight, fewer shielding requirements, and lower cost than those of traditional (1.5-3 T) systems.

Impact of Predictive Text Clinical Decision Support on Imaging Order Entry in the Emergency Department.

Purpose: Imaging clinical decision support (CDS) is designed to assist providers in selecting appropriate imaging studies and is now federally required. The aim of this study was to understand the effect of CDS on decisions and workflows in the emergency department (ED).

Methods: The authors' institution's order entry platform serves up structured indications for imaging orders.

Quality Control of Magnetic Resonance Elastography Using Percent Measurable Liver Volume Estimation.

Background: Although studies have described factors associated with failed magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), little is known about what factors influence usable elastography data.

Purpose: To identify factors that have a negative impact on percent measurable liver volume (pMLV), defined as the proportion of usable liver elastography data relative to the volume of imaged liver in patients undergoing MRE.

Study Type: Retrospective.
