Abstract

PURPOSE: Increasing CT capacity to keep pace with rising ED demand is critical. The conventional process has inherent drawbacks. We evaluated an off-console automated AI enhanced workflow which moves all final series creation off-console. We hypothesized the off-console workflow would 1) decrease overall ED CT exam begin to end times and decrease length and variability of time CT is occupied at the individual exam level.
