      1. Sequences, parameters, coils, etc. 

2. Who can be an Applications Specialist?

   1. Most vendors require 5 years min of experience to apply.

   2. Must be certified by ARMRIT or ARRT (MR)

   3. May or may not be classically trained, but newer Apps Specialists are more likely to have an education in MRI.

   4. All Apps Specialists from each vendor have extensive training and resources in the USE of their systems. 

      1. This includes tweaks that work well for each system, commonly known issues, various ways of accomplishing similar outcomes, common scanning techniques at different sites, etc.

3. What are some of the strengths that nearly all Applications Specialists have?

   1. Know the software very well

   2. Know common scanning techniques on your system

   3. Know common parameter selections for various applications

   4. Have a very wide range of experiences with how different sites do different techniques

4. What are some preparations and mindsets that will help you get more from the visit?

   1. Checklists!

      1. Things that haven’t been working as expected

         1. Do not assume that something about your system is “just the way it is.” Most systems have a lot of personalization that can be performed. Assume it can be done, until the Applications Specialist tells you otherwise.

      2. Things that have been malfunctioning

         1. System crashes, missing calculations, etc.

      3. Preferred improvements to scanning protocols

         1. Consider anything that might be possible. The Apps Specialist can often find little-known workarounds for protocols to get what you want.

      4. Questions about pulse sequences, parameters, general MRI questions

         1. Keep in mind that most Applications Specialists are NOT MR Physicists, so they may or may not know the in-depth answers you are looking for, but it is worth asking!

   2. If you have any protocol, system, or software issues, identify as much about them as possible and have that ready for your Applications Specialist. 

      1. Vague descriptions of “issues” are always hard to figure out and more time is spent trying to figure out what the symptom is than trying to figure out a solution.

   3. Make sure your radiologist and any other clinically relevant personnel know when the visit is happening, and remind them prior to the visit.

      1. It is common that these important folks forget that the visit is coming up, and then are unavailable to get their concerns addressed. 

      2. Find out and list any specific concerns your radiologist(s) need addressed

         1. If you are not well-versed with these concerns, please get as much information from the radiologist as you can, or set a time when he/she can speak with the Applications Specialist directly.

   4. Perform a backup of your protocols before the Applications Specialist arrives.

      1. This is usually a standard procedure, but it is always best to be safe!

   5. Humble yourself!

      1. Your Applications Specialist can only help you if you’re willing to be helped.

      2. It isn’t a competition between you two of knowledge or experience, but rather an opportunity to learn some of what the manufacturer has taught them, as well as much of what they have learned from experience. 

      3. He/she will not think less of you if you are honest about not knowing something. It truly helps to be honest and up front!

   6. Ask questions!

      1. Some Apps Specialists may be talkative, but many may not be. They are used to teaching people, so don’t be afraid to ask them anything you think is pertinent. 

      2. You may have a “dumb question” but you’ll still be in the unknown until you ask. Frequently you’ll ask something they don’t know also, so you both can learn something then!

5. Some common obstacles to a helpful Applications visit:

   1. Patient schedule is too busy to allow teaching or protocol adjustments

   2. Techs being rigid around their own ideas.

   3. Radiologists being unavailable to address concerns

   4. Techs have not identified anything they need help with.
