| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE. We sought to identify a limited set of standardized descriptors for various MR image series on a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) and to apply these descriptors to both existing and newly acquired MR images. CONCLUSION. Of the 47,028 MR image series in our PACS, approximately 2500 had been assigned unique descriptors, and nearly 82% of the descriptors had a frequency of appearance of less than 5%. We reduced the number of descriptors to 146 without loss of essential information. Use of standardized descriptors may facilitate identification of various MR image series. |
