Implementation of Graphic User Interface Screen Capture Solution for Workflow Assessment of Abdominal MR Examinations

Graphical user interface screen-capture software installed on an MR console nonintrusively revealed significant periods of table time spent not obtaining true image data and explained discrepancies between expected and experienced MR table times. Table-time calculations using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine image headers and scanner-logged time stamps are underestimations of true table time because they do not take into account some scanner activities not directly leading to image formation.
