Pro-MRI Phantom

It can be used to measure:

• Geometric Distortion
• Spatial Resolution
• Slice thickness and position
• Interslice Gap
• T1 and T2 values
• Estimate of Image Bandwidth
• Low Contrast Detectability
• Image Uniformity
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
• Physical and Electronic Slice Offset
• Point of reference
• Bandwidth: water-fat shift

The Pro-MRI Phantom Phantom is compatible with Diagnomatic QC Solutions, a web-based service that makes it possible to easily organize and manage the quality control of any number of diagnostic imaging systems. The platform supports a DICOM protocol that allows seamless integration with your hospital IT system making data transfer safe and easy. The Pro-MRI Kit is a versatile sets of phantoms and software for carrying out constancy tests of radiography and fluoroscopy units. Thanks to the Diagnomatic subscription, all tests can be quickly and effortlessly automatically analyzed online and with the desktop app.

• 10mm thick
• Low contrast insert:
• 4 polycarbonate discs 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2mm in thickness
• Partial volume contribution of these sheets and filling solution produce contrasts: 1.4, 2.5, 3.6 and 5.1%
