Abstract

Quality in MR imaging is a comprehensive process that encompasses scanner performance, clinical processes for efficient scanning and reporting, as well as data-driven improvement involving measurement of key performance indicators. In this paper, the authors review this entire process. This article provides a framework for establishing a successful MR quality program. The collective experiences of the authors across a spectrum of pediatric hospitals is summarized here.
