AI reconstruction and workflow changes for faster MRI examinations
HUS reported 15% more daytime MRI examinations after AI reconstruction and workflow changes
Problem
Growing demand put pressure on MRI capacity. Shortening scans had previously made it difficult to preserve adequate image quality.
Approach
Siltasairaala introduced AI reconstruction in 2024 to produce diagnostic images from less acquired signal. Staff also revised the examination workflow. Radiographers and radiologists retained responsibility for assessing image quality.
Results
Takeaway
HUS attributed the additional examinations to AI and wider process changes. The reported increase did not isolate the software's contribution.
