HBCD MR Radiology Workflow: From Site to Radiologist๐
1. Initial Site Notification๐
- Site emails the following core contacts: Chris, Chad, Ron, Don, Cecile, Samir.
- Radiologists (Bob/Josh) are included only when data is nearly ready for review.
2. Urgent Ticket Creation๐
- Site opens an urgent LORIS ticket to formally log the request and track progress.
- Default Assignee: Ron
- Default Watchers: Cecile, Chris, Chad, Don and Samir.
3. Data Location Verification๐
- Ron update ticket to โAcknowledgedโ
- Ron checks pipeline systems to verify the current location of the MR data.
- FIONA โ LORIS โ AMBRA
4. Data Transfer: Imaging Pipeline๐
- Standard flow: FIONA โ LORIS โ AMBRA.
- For urgent cases, Ron pushes from FIONA directly to UCSD, skipping QC.
- UCSD ingests the data into their S3 bucket.
5. Push to AMBRA๐
- A sync pushes data from UCSD/S3 to AMBRA (cronjob run every 15 minutes). We will ensure.
6. Readiness Checkpoint๐
- Once data is confirmed as present in AMBRA (and accessible to the radiology team), the designated contact updates the LORIS ticket.
- Standard ticketing workflow ensues (Acknowledged, Assigned, Feedback status updates as necessary).
7. Radiologist Notification๐
- Radiologists (Bob, Josh) included as Watchers and are notified MR is in AMBRA and ready for review.
- Radiologists perform the read in AMBRA and email the site with the report.
- Ticket update to โResolvedโ and assigned back to initial โReporterโ (site).
- Site reviews and closes ticket (if no further action required).
8. Documentation๐
- All communication and actions are logged in the LORIS ticket for traceability.
