Clinical question and the Urgency/Die Fragestellung und die Dringlichkeit
It is important to provide a few sentences from clinical history and presentation that lead to the major clinical question that CMR investigation is intended to address. Please specify the reasons for any urgency (upcoming procedures, operations, as well as their timelines/dates). This will enable the coordinating team to plan the investigation accordingly .
The Vetting/Die Protokollierung
Every request form is justified by the senior imaging doctor by reviewing of the relevant clinical information. Patients are also pre-screened for MR/CT safety aspects. The doctor also defined the actual Cardiac MRI/CT protocol to ensure that the clinical question(s) is addressed and that patients' safety is safeguarded. The vetting is performed within 8/24 hours, electronically in ORBIS.
Please ensure that you have provided us with sufficient information, in particular regarding any planned procedures and operations.
