The growing interest in machine learning (ML) in healthcare is driven by the promise of improved patient care. However, how many ML algorithms are currently being used in clinical practice? While the technology is present, as demonstrated in a variety of commercial products, clinical integration is hampered by a lack of infrastructure, processes, and tools. In particular, automating the selection of relevant series for a particular algorithm remains challenging. In this work, we propose a methodology to automate the identification of brain MRI sequences so that we can automatically route the relevant inputs for further image-related algorithms. The method relies on metadata required by the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, resulting in generalizability and high efficiency (less than 0.4 ms/series). To support our claims, we test our approach on two large brain MRI datasets (40,000 studies in total) from two different institutions on two different continents. We demonstrate high levels of accuracy (ranging from 97.4 to 99.96%) and generalizability across the institutions. Given the complexity and variability of brain MRI protocols, we are confident that similar techniques could be applied to other forms of radiological imaging.
