In the acute settings where MRI is available, abbreviated MRI protocols may improve turnaround times and LOS compared to conventional MRI protocols. Since recent guidelines recommend MRI over CT in the evaluation of dizziness, implementation of abbreviated MRI protocols has the potential to facilitate rapid access to preferred imaging, while minimizing impact on ED workflows.
