Project Overview

The increasing use of magnetic resonance (MR) to diagnose a variety of conditions and illnesses has led to demands for greater efficiency. Too often, it seems that productivity is at odds with giving patients the time and attention they desire. SmartWorkflow provides an end-to-end workflow solution supporting a better patient and staff experience, resulting in patient centred productivity.

Project Innovation/Need

SmartWorkflow in the exam room and the control room provides a litany of benefits to patients and staff:
Guided exam set-up - a virtual coach guiding exam set-up; allowing your staff to focus on the patient.
Auto patient centering - put your patients at ease, while manual steps in the workflow are automated.
Touchless respiratory-triggering - remove the hassle of respiratory belt placement while providing superior image quality.
In-room exam start - increase productivity and free up time for other tasks.
Confidence for MR Conditional implants - increase efficiency while providing access to patients with MR Conditional implants.
Automated planning and scanning - standardize results with reduced variability and increased efficiency.
Automated patient coaching - reduce your workload while patients are put at ease and guided through the exam.
Automated post-processing - remove the burden of repetitive post-processing to support increased throughput.

Future Impact

SmartWorkflow in the exam room allows staff to focus less on technology, and fully engage with patients. By reducing and simplifying the number of steps needed for patient preparation, even new operators who have never worked with the scanner can proceed with confidence. SmartWorkflow guides and coaches where required, and automates where possible achieving high productivity while enabling your staff to focus on patients.
