By quantifying the efficiency and variability of clinic MRI exams, sources of potential improvement can be identified. An increase in efficiency and decrease in variability of MRI exams are essential to plan appropriate exam slot lengths, which can contribute to better patient access and reduced cost. Analytics are also essential to measure the impact on interventions to improve workflow. In this work we demonstrate the utility of analytics to identify inefficiencies in clinical MRI protocol in the context of MR enterography, a common abdominal MRI exam.
