자기공명영상 장치의 정도관리를 위한 ACR 팬텀은 팬텀내의 여러 구조물을 통하여 자기공명영상 화질을 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구는 3.0T 장비에서 Head coil에서 ACR 팬텀을 이용하여 임플란트와 치아 교정용 철사를 부착하여 영상의 고스트 신호 백분율과 절편 두께 정확도를 분석할 수 있었다. T1강조영상 첫 번째 절편과 열한 번째 절편의 임플란트 보철에서 절편위치 정확도는 수신대역폭이 230에서 좋게 나타났으며, 교정용 철사가 부착했을 때는 수신대역폭이 130일 때가 좋았다. 고스트 신호 백분율은 SE T1강조영상 일곱번째 절편에서 임플란트 보철에 추가된 교정용 철사의 경우에는 수신대역폭 230이 좋게 나타났다. 자기공명영상 검사에서 임플란트 보철 환자의 경우에 적절한 수신대역폭을 선택하여 영상의 왜곡과 신소 소실이 감소된 영상을 획득할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was purpose to quantitative assessment of the resolution characteristics by using American college of radiology(ACR) phantom for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI equipment was used (Achiva 3.0T MRI, Philips system, Netherlands) and the head/neck matrix shim SENSE head coil were 32 channels(elements) receive MR coil. And the MRI equipment was used (Discovery MR 750, 3.0T MRI, GE medical system, America) and the head/neck matrix shim MC 3003G-32R 32-CH head coil were receive MR coil. As for the modulation transfer function(MTF) comparison result by using ACR magnetic resonance imaging phantom, the MTF value of the ACR standard T2 image in GE equipment is 0.199 when the frequency is 1.0 mm^-1 and the MTF value of the hospital T2 image in Philips equipment is 0.528. It was used efficiently by using a general sequence more than the standard sequence method using the ACR phantom. In addition it is significant that the quantitative quality assurance evaluation method for resolution characteristics was applied mutatis mutandis, and the result values of the physical image characteristics of the 3.0T MRI device were presented.

This study was purpose to quantitative evaluation of comparison of the image intensity uniformity and noise power spectrum (NPS) by using American college of radiology (ACR) phantom for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI was used achiva 3.0T MRI and discovery MR 750, 3.0T, the head and neck matrix shim SENSE head coil were 32 channels receive MR coil. The MRI was used parameters of image sequence for ACR standard and general hospital. NPS value of the ACR standard T2 vertical image in GE equipment was 7.65E-06 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1. And the NPS value of the ACR hospital T1 region of interest (ROI) 9 over all vertical image in Philips equipment was 9E-08 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1 and the NPS value of the hospital T2 ROI 9 over all vertical image in Philips equipment was 1.06E-07 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1. NPS was used efficiently by using a general hospital vertical sequence more than the standard vertical sequence method by using the ACR phantom. Furthermore NPS was the quantitative quality assurance (QA) assessment method for noise and image intensity uniformity characteristics was applied mutatis mutandis, and the results values of the physical imaging NPS of the 3.0T MRI and ACR phantom were presented.

The purpose of these experiments is often to scan infected patients with MRI. Therefore, it is to investigate whether the antibacterial film containing silver ions, which is a non-magnetic substance, affects magnetic resonance imaging. In this experiment, the ACR phantom was used, not the patient. The ACR phantom was wrapped in an antibacterial film and the SNR, CNR, sagittal localization image, and geometrical accuracy were compared before and after. The experiment was performed 10 times and the averaged values were compared. There were no significant differences in the results of all experiments. The FDA recommends removing metal and antibacterial film masks during MRI scans. The reason is that there was one case of injury with facial burns. When I touched the antibacterial film to check the fever during the 2 hour experiment, I did not feel any particular fever. In light of the experimental results, it would be helpful to use an antibacterial film when testing an infected patient. The reason is that there isn't a difference before and after the experiment of SNR, CNR, and sagittal localization images.

본 연구는 유전체 효과를 줄이기 위해 26cm 영상영역 이상에서 사용하고 있는 Multi-transmit 기법을 26cm 이하에 적용하여 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 ACR 팬텀에 26cm 이하의 영상영역을 설정한 후, Multi-transmit 기법 적용 전 후 T1, T2강조영상의 균일도와 신호 대 잡음비, 영상획득시간을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 영상의 균일도와 SNR은 적용 후 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 영상획득시간은 적용 전에 비해, T1강조영상에서 46.8%, T2강조영상에서 18.9% 감소하였다. 결론적으로 Multi-transmit 기법을 26cm 이하의 얇은 부위에 적용하면, 영상의 질은 유지하면서 영상획득시간을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있어 임상적용에 유용하리라 사료된다.
