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

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
