Abstract:
When the radiology department of a large midwestern medical center experienced scheduling problems in MRI, it looked for a way to avoid on-site cancellations and delays. Their solution was to assess patients and anticipate problems before patients arrived for their appointments. Ms. Benson describes the problem and the successful process of pre-exam screening now in place.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
