Abstract
Background
Remote magnetic resonance (MR) scanning has emerged as a solution for supporting radiographers
from a distance during complex MR imaging examinations.
Materials and Methods
A demonstration of a commercially available remote MR scanning technology was delivered
during a radiography conference. An electronic survey was conducted to investigate
the perceived ease of use (PEoU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude toward technology
(ATT), and behavioral intention to use the technology (BI). The responses were analyzed
using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Thirty-five responses
were collected.
Results
PEoU and PU received high scores, indicating that respondents found the technology
easy to use and useful. ATT and BI received lower scores, suggesting some hesitation
in the adoption of the technology.
Conclusion
This was an early evaluation of the acceptance of remote MR scanning technology in
Greece. Further research is necessary to fill the research gap in remote MR scanning,
enabling future researchers to generate more reliable conclusions.
