摘　　要：The management of chronic peripheral lymphedema benefits from a multidisciplinary approach in which magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)can play a key role.The imaging has been well described in the literature(including this journal),but the process for starting a novel imaging service line is complex.Participants in this process,including radiologists,imaging technical staff,information technologists,and revenue cycle managers,must be engaged and work in harmony to achieve success.The purpose of this article is to detail the building blocks and steps in starting a peripheral lymphedema MRI program,how our process evolved,and lessons learned along the way.
