Synopsis

Keywords: Data Acquisition, Low-Field MRILow-field MR scanners are low-cost, portable, and requires lesser space. In this study, we performed in vitro phantom repeatability study on a 48 mT scanner (Multiwave technologies) by scanning the phantom 3 sessions in a day (11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM) at 3 locations. During each scan, we measured the temperature, humidity, and F0 to see their effect on the image. We scanned 9 sequences in the study to monitor noise, F0 and B0. The difference in temperature and humidity was determined for each session.The line intensity profilesrevealed that VLF scanner produces consistent B0 maps and qualitative images.
