MRI report

Abstract

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a complicated process involving many experts in order to obtain required images. As a result of this complicated process a report reflecting the acquisition parameters and physician interpretation is a key product. Key elements of the report have been defined by the American College of Radiology and the Inter-Societal Accreditation Commission. These include five major areas: Demographics, relevant clinical information and indication, procedure and materials, findings and impression. Additionally, the report should be signed and dated and communicated in a timely manner to enable best care.
