A footrest, uniformity and linearity (UAL) phantom, and T2 phantom belt can help MRI technicians take high-quality scans with reduced noise from patient motion, signal inhomogeneities, or variance across scanners.
The Qmetrics footrest is designed to provide a secure anchor for patients' feet to be taped during an imaging study, reducing any "wiggling" that could compromise the quality of the scan.
The UAL phantom's large fill ports make filling and draining quick and easy, according to the firm. The flange and tub are rugged and designed to endure handling, storage, and shipping without springing leaks. It provides both a geometric grid and flood portion to generate proof of a homogenous B0 magnetic field and proper coil performance.
The T2 phantom belt adds T2 relaxation time signal markers to image data during acquisition. The belt contains five small vials with varying copper sulfate solution calibrated for T2 values of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 msec in an adjustable Velcro-close belt. This supports the standardization of data acquired on multiple scanners for accurate and consistent data pooling, Qmetrics said.
