Condition for Scanning
1.
MRI systems that meet the following criteria:
• MRI magnet strength of 1.5T only, in a horizontal closed
bore system (no vertical-field, standing, or extremity
systems).
• Gradient systems with a maximum gradient slew rate per
axis less than or equal to 200 T/m/s.
• Maximum spatial field gradient less than or equal to
40 T/m (4000 gauss/cm).
2.
MRI coil setup:
• 1.5T Full Body transmit/receive coil, head transmit/receive
coil, or Extremity transmit/receive coil
• Receive only coil: Any type
• Hydrogen/proton imaging only
