We present a fully automated data management workflow and quality assurance, which is set up for large, multicentric cohort studies including whole-body MR imaging. The workflow includes a modality worklist, exam-synchronous DICOM transfer to centralized storage, quality control of MR acquisition, various image-based quality measures, web-based radiological image review for incidental findings, visual quality scores, as well as long-term archiving. This workflow, implemented in the MRI Study of the German National Cohort, enables to acquire and process more than 30 whole-body MRI scans per day, available for IF reading within 4 hours. Deviations, outliers, technical failures are pointed out on-the-fly.
