QA Setup

For QA, use

  • rat head load phantom T10475
  • in combination with the TIP 40 mm of the animal cradle
  • tape the rear of the phantom to the animal bed

 

The QA phantom typically represents a loaded condition of the MRI RF Coil.

 

Start the QA workflow as follows:

  • Remove the air bubble in the phantom from the volume of interest by using the air bubble trap at the top of the phantom.
  • Insert the front of the phantom into the gas cone and tighten the cone.
  • Scan localizer images to assure centered position of the setup.

 

NOTICE
Phantom expiration date

The phantom should not be used after the expiration date in order to obtain reproducible results.
