[Intl_DxMedPhys] MRI ACR Quality Control

[Christina Brunnquell]

Hi Patricia,
I don't recall seeing any vendor phantoms on Philips, Siemens, or GE
systems that have the internal features to test high-contrast spatial
resolution or low-contrast detectability. I think artifacts and geometric
accuracy would be feasible with vendor phantoms, and perhaps table position
accuracy as well.
