Emergency Magnetic Resonance Imaging 3-Tiered Prioritization

Traditional methods for prioritization are limited and insufficient for today ’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demands. In particular, the discrepancy in urgency of the heterogeneous emergency department (ED) patient population necessitates risk stratification to meet different degrees of urgency. The purpose of this study is to more effectively prioritize the MRI imagin g needs of ED patients commensurate with the severity of their presenting illness.
