Abstract
The present disclosure relates to automated systems and methods which assess the quality of radiology examinations and identify actionable changes to improve the quality of future exams. For each of a plurality of imaging studies, a study protocol and set of study metrics can be defined and the defined study protocol can be performed to generate data associated with the imaging study. A metrics assessment can be performed by applying at least a portion of the data associated with the result of the imaging study against the set of study metrics for the imaging study so as to generate a metrics score for the imaging study. The metrics scores can be stored in a score repository and analyzed so as to provide recommendations to improve the examination process.
