VERIFLUX Uncovers Hidden MRI Hardware Issues
How automated QA detected critical coil failures that standard tests missed
At a beta test site, VERIFLUX identified critical performance issues with a new 32-channel head coil that standard fMRI tests completely missed, preventing potential misdiagnoses.
A hospital had commissioned a new MRI scanner with a 32-channel head coil. Standard fMRI tests performed on volunteers showed no apparent issues, yet the imaging team suspected something was wrong.
On July 18, 2024, Gold Standard Phantoms demonstrated VERIFLUX at the site. The automated analysis revealed poor Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Signal Fluctuation-to-Noise Ratio (SFNR), and an alarmingly low Radius of Decorrelation (RDC).
