The field of MRI is rapidly changing. As more magnets become available, and with the increasing use of higher field strengths, MRI safety awareness becomes of paramount importance for technologists, radiologists, patients and personnel working in the MRI environment. New faster MRI sequences are now available, and their utility should be explored to enhance magnet utilization and accommodate the increasing demand for magnet time. The indications for performing prostate MRI continue to rise, especially with the use of MRI/Ultrasound image fusion to guide biopsy. MRI technologists need to be familiar with the optimized imaging technique for MSK, neuro and pediatric applications. It is crucial that technologists and other radiology staff receive updates and education in the latest MRI technology, not only to maintain their national license requirement but to be able to provide the best care to patients and properly address MRI safety issues. One way to accomplish these goals is to provide an annual CME-type imaging seminar where we can select leaders in the field of MRI to discuss these changes and how they impact the delivery of patient care.

As life science organizations implement more artificial intelligence and machine learning in their R&D processes, they rely on the services of expert readers to label and annotate their medical imaging assets for downstream analysis. But administering reader workflows - assigning images to readers, adjudicating the resulting data and keeping this work efficient and compliant - is no simple feat, particularly at the scale necessary for machine learning. To date, research organizations have assembled various approaches for tackling this work. Many common tools used in reader studies are built for only a few rigid purposes, requiring researchers to invest significant upfront time creating data-capture systems external to the viewer. Once the data-capture system is built, readers must be trained to ensure accurate and adequate readings. Maintaining compliance is also a vital concern when research teams are collaborating on medical imaging. To perform these studies at scale, researchers should be able to design their own custom workflows without coding knowledge and with the confidence they are staying in compliance. Readers would be guided through their labeling workflow inside the viewer in a way that is intuitive and instructional while also providing beneficial data quality validation steps. Once reader data is collected, research teams then need additional tools to assist in adjudication, data standardization and subsequent research workflows.
