| BIAC routinely collects quality assurance data using AGAR phantoms on both 3T scanners. The goal is to collect this data on each scanner daily. At a minimum, it should be collected a few times per week. This data allows us to evaluate the scanners SNR and SFNR values, which in turn allow us to closely monitor scanner performance and quickly identify and diagnose problems. QA analysis tools also provide figures of merit for the mean signal, standard deviations, and signal stability in the X, Y, and Z planes. | BIAC routinely collects quality assurance data using AGAR phantoms on both 3T scanners.
