This online activity was recorded at the ARMRIT 2019, Semi-Annual Meeting, Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV Nov. 1 & 2

RT Credit:	0.50 ARRT Category A
Tuition:	$10.00

Educational Objective
To demonstrate DCE-MRI changes before and after radiation or chemotherapy treatment for patients with spinal diseases. In correlation with other imaging and clinical findings. It’s often difficult to fully see treatment response when newly diagnosed.

Outline
Summary: Currently, conventional imaging without DCE is limited in evaluating early treatment success or failure, which impacts patient care. With newer methods to measure perfusion parameters such as blood plasma volume (V p), and time-dependent leakage (K trans) earlier treatment response will lead to better patient results.

Methods: We had consecutive patients with known metastases of the spine who underwent Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced-Magnetic Resonance Imaging DCE-MRI before and after radiotherapy.

Conclusion: DCE-MRI imaging presents a novel alterative to conventional imaging for spinal diseases. When done the audience will understand how perfusion imaging of the spine can help evaluate early diagnosis by understanding and being able to perform this relativity easy technique. The audience will also be introduced to the how blood plasma volume (V p), and time-dependent leakage (K trans) work.

Educational Objective
To educate attendees of the day-to-day workings of a Medical Imaging Facility specializing in the processing screening and preparation of the MRI Patient.

Outline:

Communication

1. Front desk
   • vigilance
     • Repetitive errors
     • Constant follow-ups to assure patient flow
       • Arrival
       • Barium, enterography
   • Proactive informing of MR delay
     • Take that moment and speak w patient directly, if possible, to defuse
     • Take ownership of situation to prevent front staff contamination
   • Overbearing sense of ownership
     • Tactful dealings with aggressive personalities
       • Some front staff will dictate how the order of patients show proceed
         • STAT ERs are not preceded by outpatients
         • Moving a patient up in the schedule to free up an earlier day end must be cleared with tech first
           • What if IN patients are to be done in empty slots?
   • Verbals,  i.e. labs, orders, authorizations (Auth).
     • If you don’t have it physically I.e. scanned or on hand
       • Option to continue and start scanning becomes tech liability
       • Over a period of years, I have a handful of different scenarios
         • All of which ended up being the tech’s problem should a verbal not materialize in time I.e. before the patient leaves
2. Scheduling
   • Exponential vigilance
     • Check every order
       • Laterality,  Appropriate AOI vs. symptoms, With or Without, ½ ordered, ½ missing
     • Check every auth
       • Auth & order continuity, With or Without
     • Co-ordinate with medical director to confirm
       • Instructions during scheduling for water prior to Gd study
       • Extra care for STAT studies and not omitting STAT during scheduling
   • Staff is not clinical
     • Be tactful & patient with the never-ending questions
3. HR collusion
   • Involved in r/s pts for claustro?
     • Superseding tech’s assessment following pt claustro r/s w meds
       • Tourette’s syndrome; pt motion extreme
         • Not a realistic candidate for MRI in an out-pt setting
         • Recommended full sedation hospital setting
         • HR intervention
           • Meds before MRI??  i.e. 0.5mg atavan ?
           • If unsuccessful, then hospital
   • involvement in research studies??,  Involvement in discussions re: OT, tech overlap/shift transition??
   • Fellow techs
     • ARRT grandfathered
       • How to navigate tactfully
         • Older outdated methods
         • Tech is unaware of current practices
         • Tech is simply doing things incorrectly
     • Non-communicating Tech
       • Minimize processes that cause friction and frustration
       • Practice extreme vigilance
         • Protocol changes
         • Pre-appt patient needs
         • Ordering supplies I.e. Gd, IV tools, Injection kits
         • Interaction with rads
     • Incompetent/non multitasking tech
       • Make it official; document everything
         • Leave notes and sign what needs signing to show due diligence
         • Initial what studies you scanned
       • Be prepared to be behind during transitions I.e. am to pm handoffs
       • Take control of patient misdirection during study onset
         • Observe/recognize when tech loses control of patient drama
           • Intervene tactfully and proactively
     • Inappropriate tech
       • Rude and uncompassionate bedside manner
         • Screening without listening
         • Combative nature
       • Apt to cancel appt without making an effort with higher maintenance situation
       • Canceling pt study for 5 min tardiness
     • Leads
       • Probably most frustrating is when your lead knows less than you do
       • Humility and tactful assertion
     • Newer techs
       • May require guidance
         • Limited experience
         • Proactive/tactful leadership
       • Guidance must be limited
         • Tech has to demonstrate competence independently
           • Burden should not be on shoulders of other techs
     • Tech Rescheduling / Canceling appts
       • Contraindication
       • Does tech have authority or leverage to cancel appt
       • Does that burden rest with site rad
       • Incidental findings I.e. priors
       • Patient work up I.e. prior US, CT etc
       • Site specific practices or procedures; vary from site to site.
