In this presentation, we will discuss the different scenarios in which AMRI can be used: 1) in the context of cancer screening or diagnosis (liver cancer, liver metastases, prostate cancer); 2) for liver health assessment (fat, fibrosis and iron), 3) in cases of contra-indications to gadolinium contrast. We will discuss the current evidence on the use of AMRI, cost savings, limitations and future directions.
Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) protocols have recently emerged as an alternative to standard MRI protocols, by reducing the number of sequences and table time, while maintaining diagnostic information. The motivation is based on improved efficiency and potentially decreased costs.
