Due to COVID-19, our MRI patient throughput has been reduced by about 50% which resulted in an increased backlog and even longer waiting times for patients. Now we are carefully increasing our number of patients per day and Compressed SENSE helps us to reduce our backlog faster and shortens the waiting times for patients.

We went from hour time slots to 30 minutes. We went from having 13 patients to 26 to 28 every single day."

Before we were getting close to 30 minutes/scan and we couldn’t have really done as many addons or be as flexible in the schedule as we are now with Compressed SENSE.”
Richard L Bajakian, M.D., MRI Specialists of Boynton Beach, FL, USA
We can now provide a more flexible and faster MRI service to our patients and referring physicians.
For instance, when a referring physician is requesting it, we can now quite smoothly insert an additional MRI examination without previous appointment on the same day.
The shorter exams alleviate the pressure on our full daily schedule of MRI patients."

The shorter scan times achieved with Compressed SENSE relieve the stress of a tight work schedule for the MR staff."
