    Abstract Electronic consultations (e-consults) mediated through an electronic health record system or web-based platform allow synchronous or asynchronous physician-to-physician communication. E-consults have been explored in various clinical specialties, but relatively few instances in the literature describe e-consults to connect health care providers directly with radiologists.The authors outline how a radiology department can implement an e-consult service and review the development of such a service in a large academic health system. They describe the logistics, workflow, turnaround time expectations, stakeholder management, and pilot implementation and highlight challenges and lessons learned.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The slow adoption of new advanced imaging techniques into clinical practice has been a long-standing challenge. Principles of implementation science and the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance (RE-AIM) framework were used to build a clinical vessel wall imaging program at an academic medical center.
    Materials and methods: Six phases for implementing a clinical vessel wall MR imaging program were contextualized to the RE-AIM framework. Surveys were designed and distributed to MR imaging technologists and clinicians. Effectiveness was measured by surveying the perceived diagnostic value of vessel wall imaging among MR imaging technologists and clinicians, trends in case volumes in the clinical vessel wall imaging examination, and the number of coauthored vessel wall imaging-focused publications and abstracts. Adoption and implementation were measured by surveying stakeholders about workflow. Maintenance was measured by surveying MR imaging technologists on the value of teaching materials and online tip sheets. The Integration dimension was measured by the number of submitted research grants incorporating vessel wall imaging protocols. Feedback during the implementation phases and solicited through the survey is qualitatively summarized. Quantitative results are reported using descriptive statistics.
    Results: Six phases of the RE-AIM framework focused on the following: 1) determining patient and disease representation, 2) matching resource availability and patient access, 3) establishing vessel MR wall imaging (VWI) expertise, 4) forming interdisciplinary teams, 5) iteratively refining workflow, and 6) integrating for maintenance and scale. Survey response rates were 48.3% (MR imaging technologists) and 71.4% (clinicians). Survey results showed that 90% of the MR imaging technologists agreed that they understood how vessel wall MR imaging adds diagnostic value to patient care. Most clinicians (91.3%) reported that vessel wall MR imaging results changed their diagnostic confidence or patient management. Case volumes of clinical vessel wall MR imaging performed from 2019 to 2022 rose from 22 to 205 examinations. Workflow challenges reported by MR imaging technologists included protocoling examinations and scan length. Feedback from ordering clinicians included the need for education about VWI indications, limitations, and availability. During the 3-year implementation period of the program, the interdisciplinary teams coauthored 27 publications and abstracts and submitted 13 research grants.
    Conclusions: Implementation of a clinical imaging program can be successful using the principles of the RE-AIM framework. Through iterative processes and the support of interdisciplinary teams, a vessel wall MR imaging program can be integrated through a dedicated clinical pipeline, add diagnostic value, support educational and research missions at an academic medical center, and become a center for excellence.

    Abstract Purpose: To optimize operations for a newly implemented abbreviated MR (AB-MR) breast cancer screening protocol, activity times were compared with the full-protocol examination.
    Methods: Activity times from 70 AB-MR and 736 full MR screening studies were analyzed. Total study time was measured from opening to closing examinations and expected scan time by summing the time of acquisition for each imaging series for either protocol. Actual scan time was obtained from DICOM headers. Total technologist activity time was obtained by subtracting expected scan time from total study time. Technologist activity time included both scan-related and non-scan-related activities.
    Results: The actual scan time for the AB protocol was 17.5 ± 0.5 min, compared with 28.8 ± 0.3 min (mean ± SE) for the full protocol (difference, 11.3 min; P < .0001). The total study time was 36.0 ± 3.2 min for AB-MRI and 49.7 ± 0.8 min for the full protocol (difference, 13.7 min; P < .0001), implying that the AB-MR protocol had only a 38% greater patient flow rate than the full protocol.
    Conclusions: The realized gains in patient flow rate were lower than expected based on scan times (65%) because of increased technologist activity time for the AB-MR protocol.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Imaging and autopsy studies show intracranial gadolinium deposition in patients who have undergone serial contrast-enhanced MRIs. This observation has raised concerns when using contrast administration in patients who receive frequent MRIs. To address this, we implemented a contrast-conditional protocol wherein gadolinium is administered only for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with imaging evidence of new disease activity on precontrast imaging. In this study, we explore the economic impact of our new MRI protocol.
    Methods: We compared scanner time and Medicare reimbursement using our contrast-conditional methodology versus that of prior protocols where all patients received gadolinium.
    Results: For 422 patients over 4 months, the contrast-conditional protocol amounted to 60% decrease in contrast injection and savings of approximately 20% of MRI scanner time. If the extra scanner time was used for performing MS follow-up MRIs in additional patients, the contrast-conditional protocol would amount to net revenue loss of $21,707 (∼3.7%).
    Conclusions: Implementation of a new protocol to limit contrast in MS follow-up MRIs led to a minimal decrease in revenue when controlled for scanner time utilized and is outweighed by other benefits, including substantial decreased gadolinium administration, increased patient comfort, and increased availability of scanner time, which depending on type of studies performed could result in additional financial benefit.
