Abstract

Searching for a multi-purpose phantoms (MTPs) is a key issue for quality control (QC) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. This main objective of this article is to design MTP phantom for MRI quality control/assurance of relatively low cost components. Our proposed phantom costs only around 23% out of the price of American College of Radiology (ACR) phantom. A good choice of MTP polyamide material and manufacturing procedures leads to a realization of an adequate phantom at an affordable cost, with more options and easy to maintain compared to the available ACR phantoms. A comprehensive QC is investigated on MTP for MRI system. This study also shows the various parameters to be controlled by accreditations as stated by ACR for our proposed MTP.
