    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging Informatics
    • Health Information Systems

    Background:

    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities generate substantial patient data.
    • Effective management of this data is crucial for clinical care, research, and education.
    • Existing systems may lack efficient data retrieval and organizational capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a cost-effective management system for an MRI facility.
    • To enhance patient data storage and facilitate the creation of a teaching file.
    • To enable rapid retrieval and sorting of MRI case data.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a management system on a Digital PRO-350 microcomputer.
    • Utilization of a commercially available database software package.
    • Data entry via terminal by a clerk typist with data condensation for storage optimization.

    Main Results:

    • The system was developed at a cost of approximately $7000.
    • Patient data can be rapidly retrieved and sorted using any of the 42 available data fields or combinations thereof.
    • The system has been successfully utilized for 18 months for teaching file directories, presentations, and clinical research.

    Conclusions:

    • A functional and affordable MRI management system was successfully implemented.
    • The system enhances data accessibility and organization for educational and research purposes.
    • The system supports census data compilation and word processing functionalities.
