MR ACR Phantom Troubleshooting

MRM3500
Course Type: Online Course
Cost: $40.00
Course Length: 75 mins
Credits: 2
Credit Type: CE

The American College of Radiology (ACR) Accreditation is recognized as the gold standard in medical imaging. By displaying the gold seals of ACR Accreditation, you demonstrate to your patients, payers and referring physicians that you are committed to providing the safest and best quality care possible. In preparing to image the ACR phantom, the ACR has given 8 tests to evaluate a system’s performance. This training covers some of the more common troubleshooting scenarios a site may encounter when submitting their data. The objective of this troubleshooting presentation is to discuss what is the purpose of the ACR. Talk about the phantom that will be used for acquiring the data. Review which coil is to be used when scanning the ACR Phantom. How to setup the phantom in the coil and cover what actions to take to ensure the coil and phantom are both set up properly. What to avoid. Lastly post scanning measurements and how to discern if the system will fail a section and pointers to determine if it’s a user, system, or an environmental problem.
