File:MRI Cheat Sheet.docx

“MRI Cheat Sheet” is just to discuss the ‘new’ protocols we have introduced to the clinicians this summer. In reality, these are not new protocols, but new ways of ordering these exams. All of these exams would be considered ‘urgent’ and can be ordered during the day (7 AM – 11 PM, weekdays, etc) – though we have requested that MRI for Appendicitis is preferred to be done during normal business hours (7 AM-5 PM) so that a body MRI person can be around if somebody needs a 2nd look (if a clinician wants it later in the day or overnight, it's up to the covering Radiologist).
