Quality Control and Performance Tests in Magnetic Resonance Imaging with the Direction of the Medical Physicist

Abstract

The aim of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRG) device is to provide the performance, image quality and patient safety. It was also compared with the quality control and performance tests conducted by the medical physicist in the American College of Radiology (ACR) guide. Quality control and performance tests were conducted with an authorized service engineer of the Philips medical device company on April 12, 2016. A 1.5 Tesla Philips Achieva/Intera MRI device and the phantoms compatible with this device were used at the Radiology Clinic of the OMÜ Faculty of Medicine. The resultant quality control and performance tests result in phantom images; by evaluating these images, no problem and image artefacts were observed in the MRI device concerned.
