title: Implementing a radiology-information technology project: mobile image viewing use case and a general guideline for radiologist-information technology team collaboration.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article illustrates the importance of radiologist engagement in the successful implementation of radiology-information technology (IT) projects through the example of establishing a mobile image viewing solution for health care professionals.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With an understanding of the types of decisions that benefit from radiologist input, this article outlines an overall project framework to provide a context for how radiologists might engage in the project cycle.
