[Intl_DxMedPhys] Tests post gradient coil replacement for MRI

[Steven Shea]

Dear all,

One of our MR systems is having the gradient coil replaced (thankfully
under contract) and I will be conducting physics testing after the install
& calibration. I will run the ACR phantom and perform all standard
measurements. I also plan to look through the service tool (Siemens
Magnetom Aera, I have a service key) to examine the different gradient
calibrations & tests that should be done post install. I may also re-run
the Siemens phantom shim (field map) test to verify field homogeneity since
they will have ramped down & then ramped up the system.

For the MR experts out there -- would you run anything else? Any other test
result to pay special attention to or focus on?

Thanks, Steve
