This document is a reference guide for the PROFILER 2 software and device. It provides information on the latest firmware and software versions including new features such as data plotting, water tank file importing, smoothing algorithms, and analysis panel changes. It also includes instructions for setting up the USB and serial ports, installing firmware, launching the software, connecting devices, and removing the software. Safety instructions are provided.
This document provides instructions for setting up the PROFILER 2 system, which includes a detector unit, cables, power/data interface, and software. It describes connecting the hardware components, installing the software, performing initial calibration of the detector array and dose calibration, and taking basic radiation measurements. The document also provides specifications for the PROFILER 2 detector array and operating instructions for the graphical user interface.
This document provides user instructions for the METROLAB THM 7025 3-axis Hall teslameter. It includes sections on general description, specifications, safety, principles of operation including the user interface buttons, and RS-232 interface commands. The document contains detailed information on operating the instrument and programming it via its serial communication interface.
This document provides information about an MRI multi-purpose phantom, including:
1. The phantom contains sections to evaluate slice thickness uniformity, magnetic field homogeneity, RF uniformity, and T1 and T2 values.
2. Imaging parameters like echo time, number of slices, and slice thickness should match typical clinical sequences for daily quality assurance.
3. The phantom can be filled with any NMR signal-producing solution, such as a 0.1 millimolar manganese chloride solution, which has a T1 value of around 500 msec.
The document describes two MRI phantoms recommended by the AAPM for evaluating MRI system performance:
1. The 3DRAS phantom contains resolution inserts and slice thickness ramps to test spatial resolution, slice thickness, position and separation.
2. The UAL phantom contains uniformity inserts to test image uniformity and linearity inserts to test spatial distortion.
3. The phantoms are designed for quick, convenient testing of key MRI parameters including resolution, artifacts, uniformity and geometry.
