16Phantoms Fig. 90: System Phantom
The phantoms are supplied with each machine, namely four ho-
mogenous phantoms (two big homogenous phantoms), and one
geometrical phantom.
The geometrical phantom, used to check image characteristics,
consists of a 50-mm high Plexiglas cylinder, having an internal di-
ameter of 100 mm and containing some objects at specific loca-
tions.
Specifically, it contains two triangular prisms for evaluating the slice
thickness and position, a 1-mm resolution pattern and geometrical
reference pins.
NOTICE The geometrical phantom is empty: fill it using

one of the two large homogeneous phantoms
Three homogenous phantoms consist of cylindrical containers (bot-

tles), having diameters of 115 mm and 74 mm, to be used for knee
coil (both large and small) and for the hand coil respectively (see
the following figure).
They are filled with an aqueous solution of 5 mM of NiCl2 and 55
mM of NaCl.

performed. The Scout is a dedicated sequence necessary to set the
system parameters taking care of the magnet frequency and pa-
tient’s load and to identify the patient position during the real ex-
amination. The Scout sequence must be acquired from the Cus-

every channel
20.1Thermostatic Stability Control
Thermostatic control is very important because ferrite has a thermal
Fig. 118: Automatic temperature check
coefficient, which causes resonant frequency to change by approx.
15 kHz with temperature differences of one degree centigrade.
While executing each scan, it is therefore necessary to limit tem-
perature fluctuations to around one thousandth of a degree.
First of all check using Internet Explorer (homepage –configuration
management –system temperature) the CTERM offsets: move the
arrow channel till you obtain the up inner, up outer, down inner and
down outer offset; see if the same values are written as on the label
present on the CTERM module. If not change the incorrect value
and save it before quitting from the menu.
20.1.1Automatic Check
The program detects some data concerning the thermal condition of
the magnet: deviations (dT) with respect to the required tempera-
ture value and the powers of each magnet block’s heaters (up in-
ner, up outer, down inner and down outer). In addition, the program
can detect the environment temperature by a sensor put outside the
magnet and connected to the CTERM module.
The program sends this information to the ” Temp.rec” file, as
shown in the example below.
Operations
• Select <Tests> <Automatic> <Temperature>, then <Run> • In case of errors, perform the manual Temperature check ex-
plained in this chapter or check the temperature store file
• Wait for the end of the test then check the results against the
specification (see the Quality Form chapter). The system shows • Exit by clicking on the <OK> button of the message

Normally, dT’s will be in the region of some hundredths of a degree.
In any case, it is not the absolute value of the dT’s that is important, Fig. 119: System monitor window
but rather their stability over time. The maximum provided powers is
20 Watts for every channel.
Please note that thermostatic control is guaranteed by keeping the
magnet at the correct temperature (ideal = 34°C).
Hence, power must always be supplied to the CTERM module. In
the event of power failures, even for short times (for instance 10
minutes), you must wait for the temperature test to be successful.
For this purpose, you must repeat it several times, waiting some
minutes between one test to another one.
It is clear that any malfunctions in the CTERM module, the sensors
or in the heaters will cause abnormalities in the measured data. The
program warns of a possible anomaly if one dT is greater than
0.1°C.
Please note also that the user may perform this calibration as a
diagnostic scan.
20.1.2Manual Check
The manual temperature check allows the technician to follow in
real time the temperature and power variation of every magnet
channel: UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT.

Matching
• If the pulse is lower than 12dB you must increase the matching
of the transmission coil
• In this case change the value of the fixed matching capacitors.

Remember that the sum of the left side matching capacitors
must be equal to the sum of the right side matching capacitors
• Touch the TX Coil with your hand close to the circuit to find out if
you have to increase or decrease the capacitance value to ob-
tain the correct matching value
– If the value of the matching increases you must decrease the
capacitance
– If it decreases you must increase the capacitance
• Decrease or increase the capacitors by a small amount, then

repeat the test checking if the deepness of the peak is at least
12dB. You must change at least two capacitors at a time

20.5Shimming Check 20.5.1Necessary Tools

– Shimming Kit
Good homogeneity of the static field of the magnet is a necessary
condition if you want to obtain good quality images. The shimming – Allen key 4mm
procedure carried out in the factory guarantees that magnetic field – Screwdrivers flat and Philips
homogeneity is within specification when the magnet comes out – Geometrical Phantom and its support
from the factory. – Coils 1, 2 and 3
However, due to several factors (transportation, storage etc.), the
magnetic field may change, and the service operator might find that,
on site, the homogeneity is not within specification anymore: this is
due to the fact that some field coefficients (notably the second order
coefficients) have increased.
The aim of this procedure is to detect and (if necessary) correct on
site the second order coefficients of the magnetic field.
The flow chart (shown below) illustrates the logical sequence of the
steps to be performed to check and, whenever necessary, to cor-
rect the static magnetic field and, in particular, the above-mentioned
parameters.
The chronological order of these steps is very important, because
the various parameters affect each other, so that correcting one of
them might cause the undesired change of the other magnetic field
parameters. Therefore, it is recommended to perform all the re-
quired steps and, in particular, the correction procedure, with the
utmost care.
NOTICE Open the magnet, remove the shimming plates,

leave them outside for 5 minutes then insert them
back before to perform this procedure

tem acquires and shows you 19 slices for every sequence from –
4,5 cm to + 4,5cm from the magnet iso-center and with 0,5cm of
gap between the slices (-4,5; -4,0; -3,5;…-0,5; 0; +0,5;…+4,5)
• Load and scroll the images to evaluate their quality and if any
hole is present. The specification says that no hole has to be
bigger than 1cm from –2,5cm to +2,5cm from the magnet iso-
center in the three orientations (axial, sagittal and coronal)

If the offset is not to zero, the
gradient waveform is not cor-

that its linearity is not perfectly

In this example, the rise time
is a bit too fast and it gener-
ates an overshoot on the gra-

25Signal to noise check Fig. 176: Protocol List scan menu
25.1Introduction
The signal-noise ratio test is the most important test and, at the
same time, the most critical since it is affected by the operation of
the entire machine and not by a single parameter. The evaluation is
performed on images obtained with the homogeneous phantoms
and the different coils for the three main views: Axial, Sagittal, and
Coronal.
This measurement must be repeated with different scans, so you
can be absolutely certain that the machine is operating correctly.
A dedicated program measures this parameter by evaluating the
signal as the average value in a ROI in the center of the image and
four ROI’s in the corners of the image.
The images have to be acquired from the OPI program and meas-
ured from the ARAS program after their selection.
25.2Necessary tools
– Homogeneous Phantoms and their supports
25.3Operations
• Insert the Coil with its homogeneous phantom in the magnet
center and perform a scout
• From OPI, click on the <Protocol List> and select the correct
sequences following the Quality Form <S/N measurements
(Coil “n°and name”)> then start them
• When all the images are acquired, open the ARAS program and Fig. 177: S/N ratio value

and the system will show you only the Uniformity images
– Select the image and the system will show you the value
26.1Introduction automatically
Image uniformity is evaluated on the homogeneous phantom fol-

lowing the NEMA protocol that defines this parameter as follows: Fig. 178: Uniformity measurement
U% = 100 x [(Smax-Smin) / (Smax+Smin)] Where Smax and Smin
are the maximum and the minimum signals in a circular ROI cen-
tered in the phantom’s image.
A dedicated program measures this parameter on a ROI.
Following the same procedure explained before for the signal to
Noise test, perform the Uniformity test just for the Knee Coil 1.

edge in the successive maximum and record the Dist. parameter
In order to check the spatial resolution it is necessary to evaluate on the Installation and Quality Form
the intensity profile of the periodic pattern contained in the geomet-
rical phantom, consisting of 11 parallel plates, thickness 1 mm. The
distance d between the plates is equal to their thickness. Fig. 180: spatial Resolution Measurement
The MR signal produced by the periodic pattern must clearly show
the ability of the system to distinguish each structure of the periodic
pattern and in particular the signal intensity profile of the periodic
pattern must exhibit the same period of the pattern itself, i.e. 2d.
• Select the SE T1 sequence and open the setting window
• Check and set the sequence parameters as follows:

– TE = 26 ms
– TR = 500 ms
– Number of slices = 1
– Slice thickness = 5 mm
– Average = 1
– FOV = 120 x 120 mm
– Data acquisition matrix = 128 x 128
• Acquire the image
• Select <Profile> function and draw the profile in vertical direction

between the two external plates of the periodic pattern and
check that the profile formed by the periodic pattern is parallel to
the image edges so that distances can be measured perfectly as
shown in the following figure
• Verify that the intensity profile exhibits a periodic structure
• Click on the keyboard command CRTL and on the left mouse

button, place the cross cursor on one of the two profile edge,
then move the mouse while holding down the button: the edge
will be moved accordingly along the profile
Part 9 Quality Form
27Introduction
In this chapter you will find the Installation Quality Form.
The quality form compiled in the factory and containing all the Sys-
tem data is placed on the console inside a plastic envelope.
Refer to the Tune-up chapter for all calibration explanations.
NOTICE The Average FFT and Gain1 – Gain 2 values

are automatically calculated by the system during
the scout acquisition performed using the Knee
Coil 1 and the Geometrical Phantom: look for
them in the Logger flag during the Scout calibra-
tion and report their values in the Quality Form!
