MRI Surface Coil Phantom

Accurately Evaluates:

• High Spatial Resolution
• Profile
• Slice to Slice Gap
• Magnetic Field
• Gradient Linearity
• RF Signal Brightness  
• Slice Thickness 
• MTF Evaluation 
• Uniformity 
• Image Artifacts
• And many others

Specifically designed for comprehensive testing of surface coils. Provides proper geometry not found in Conventional head or body size phantoms.

Overall Dimensions
Outer: 13" W x 6 7/8" H x 6" D 
Inner: 12" W x 6" H x 5" D

Surface coils are preferred in some MR studies, in part, because their use can minimize motion artifacts, obtain high signal-to-noise ration in the areas closer to the surface, and obtain high resolution images of smaller areas of interest.The use of surface coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging has become an important part of the clinical operations in most MR facilities.

This phantom was specifically designed for acceptance testing and routing QC of surface coils. It provides the proper geometry not found in conventional head or body size phantoms. 

The surface Coil Phantom is constructed of non-magnetic Plexiglas. It is rectangular in shape, contains three inserts, and is designed to be filled MRI signal-producing solution. The void between the inserts provides a fully flooded area.
