Patient-centered productivity
Smart Workflow solutions in MR
The impact of workflow on MR departments
The increasing use of 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. Smart Workflow provides an end-to-end workflow solution supporting a better patient and staff experience, resulting in patient-centered productivity.
Smart Workflow in the exam room
Allow your 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. Smart Workflow guides and coaches where required, and automates where possible achieving high productivity while enabling your staff to focus on patients.
Guided exam set-up
Coaching and visual guidance are provided at the front of the magnet facade
Auto patient centering Region of interest is automatically placed in the iso-center of the magnet
Touchless respiratory-triggering Patient’s breathing is detected without any operator interaction
Auto coil element selection Optimal coil elements are selected automatically based on anatomy planning
In-room exam start Exam start can be initiated with a single touch of at the patient's side
The entire workflow is smooth: Patient positioning and set-up; launching the scan as soon as we leave the exam room; the intuitive touchscreen on the gantry; Touchless patient sensing… All of these things are much better than on our old system."

With Smart Workflow you can confidently offer imaging to patients with MR Conditional implants through guided and automated workflow support.
Confidence for MR Conditional implants
Step-by-step guidance to enter the condition values as specified by the implant manufacturer
Automated planning and scanning
Fully automated geometry planning, coil element selection and execution of complete MR exams
Automated patient coaching Patients are guided via announcements of scan duration, table movements and breath hold instructions
Automated post-processing Fully integrated post processing with guidance and automation to reduce time to results
Plan your day in advance
Dashboard to plan examinations before patient arrival, allowing you to stay on schedule
We don't have to manually direct the patient to breathing and not breathing. We can go ahead and let the machine do the work of the breathing instructions while we continue our planning of the exam."
