Description Evaluating patients with potentially sight-threatening conditions frequently involves urgent neuroimaging, and some providers recommend emergency department (ED) evaluation to expedite. However, several factors including wait times, fear of COVID exposure, and cost, may limit the practicality of ED evaluation. We used a STAT MRI protocol with the goal of arranging outpatient MRI within 48 hours. This study assessed the efficiency and outcomes of STAT protocol versus ED evaluation.
