MR Sequence Normalization
MRI studies often have vendor-specific sequence naming and inconsistent organization. Our solution ensures standardized presentation across all systems.
The Challenge
Healthcare facilities face several challenges with MR sequences:
- Vendor-specific sequence naming
- Inconsistent series numbering
- Missing or non-standard orientation codes
- Varying contrast phase descriptions
- Complex display protocol requirements
- Quality assurance needs
How It Works
01
Standardize
Normalize sequence names across scanner vendors and sites.
02
Order
Sort series into the correct clinical display order.
03
Orient
Correct image orientation metadata for consistent display.
04
Validate
Confirm the study passes workstation acceptance checks.
The Solution
Capacitor automatically:
- Standardizes sequence descriptions
- Corrects plane descriptions
- Normalizes contrast phase labeling
- Ensures proper series ordering
- Validates sequence completeness
- Maintains audit trail
Example Transformations
- "tse_T2" → "T2 TSE Axial"
- Standardizes SAG/COR/TRA descriptions
- Normalizes contrast timing labels
- Consistent numbering scheme
- Unified display protocols
Value Delivered
- Consistent display protocols across vendors
- Better integration with AI/post-processing
- Reduced manual series selection
- Enhanced reading experience
- Simplified protocol management
