“…The need for enterprise viewers has grown alongside the expansion of electronic health records [ 17 ]. With an EHR implementation enterprises may restructure their support model away from a medical specialty focused approach with limited governance towards a model with engaged governance, clinical service lines—including enterprise imaging—and enabling services, such as scalable application delivery, data warehousing, storage, network, and the service desk [ 18 , 19 ]. Some common EHRs do not provide integrated image storage or a multi-specialty/multi-format image viewer.…”

Clinical specialties have widely varied needs for diagnostic image interpretation, and clinical image and video image consumption. Enterprise viewers are being deployed as part of electronic health record implementations to present the broad spectrum of clinical imaging and multimedia content created in routine medical practice today. This white paper will describe the enterprise viewer use cases, drivers of recent growth, technical considerations, functionality differences between enterprise and specialty viewers, and likely future states. This white paper is aimed at CMIOs and CIOs interested in optimizing the image-enablement of their electronic health record or those who may be struggling with the many clinical image viewers their enterprises may employ today.

“…MRL is an MR examination in which the peripheral lymphatic channels and subcutaneous soft tissues of an extremity are evaluated in a multiparametric fashion [9] . A multisequence protocol provides an anatomical assessment of fluid and fat distribution, lymphatic contrast injection and subsequent imaging of lymphatic drainage, and intravenous contrast injection and subsequent imaging to assess venous outflow, comprehensively evaluating the extremity to guide treatment planning [5,10] . This manuscript will detail how to start a peripheral MRL program using an organized, methodical team-based approach, which will be divided into visioning, analysis, implementation, and reflection.…”

The management of chronic peripheral lymphedema benefits from a multidisciplinary approach in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can play a key role. The imaging has been well described in the literature (including this journal), but the process for starting a novel imaging service line is complex. Participants in this process, including radiologists, imaging technical staff, information technologists, and revenue cycle managers, must be engaged and work in harmony to achieve success. The purpose of this article is to detail the building blocks and steps in starting a peripheral lymphedema MRI program, how our process evolved, and lessons learned along the way.
