The patient is seen by a neurologist, who suspects a motor neuron disease. He orders MRI scans of the brain and spine to assess for any structural lesions or demyelination.
An algorithm receives a post-processed SWI/QSM data set. If the algorithm can determine a result, return the following: representative images of motor cortex segmentation, quantitative measures of the entire motor cortex (left and right, separately), QSM measurements of the face/hand/leg portions of the motor cortex homunculus, and the odds/risk ratios for ALS/PLS given these results.
Additional considerations are as follows: The algorithm executes after the exam is verified on PACS. The algorithm optimally integrates on PACS and dictation/reporting software. The user is able to automatically populate the report or manually input the results. An indicator image may save to PACS as part of the medical record.

Use cases are meant to be a primary vehicle for distributing clinical information to the developer community. They pinpoint precise scenarios within radiology workflows where potential automation could add noticeable value and establish standards for interpreting and passing corresponding common data elements. Implementing effective standards requires the perspective from all stakeholders. So to that end, we encourage your feedback on use cases.
To submit comments, please email DSIUseCases@acr.org with the use case title(s) and relevant comments by January 1, 2019. If more convenient, you may also download this use case and comment directly on the PDF. Just attach the PDF copy on the email.
