A pediatric MRI service is a vital component of a successful radiology department. Building an efficient and effective pediatric MRI service is a multifaceted process that requires detailed planning for considerations related to finance, operations, quality and safety, and process improvement. These are compounded by the unique challenges of caring for pediatric patients, particularly in the setting of the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In addition to material resources, a successful pediatric MRI service depends on a collaborative team consisting of radiologists, physicists, technologists, nurses and vendor specialists, among others, to identify and resolve challenges and to strive for continued improvement. This article provides an overview of the factors involved in both starting and optimizing a pediatric MRI service, including commonly encountered obstacles and some proposed solutions to address them.
儿科磁共振成像（MRI）服务是成功的放射科的重要组成部分。建立高效、有效的儿科 MRI 服务是一个多方面的过程，需要详细规划与财务、运营、质量和安全以及流程改进相关的考虑因素。这些因素因儿科患者的独特护理挑战而变得复杂，尤其是在最近的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间。除了物质资源外，成功的儿科 MRI 服务还依赖于一个由放射科医生、物理学家、技师、护士和供应商专家等组成的协作团队，以识别和解决挑战，并努力持续改进。本文概述了启动和优化儿科 MRI 服务所涉及的因素，包括常见的障碍以及一些解决这些障碍的建议方案。
