The implications and quality assurance of MRI in radiotherapy treatment planning were investigated through a comprehensive literature search. The historical and present role of MRI in radiation therapy is first
Quality Assurance in Functional MRIQuality Assurance in Functional MRISince its inception two decades ago, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a leading tool for noninvasive studies of the human brain. fMRI studies require both the rapid acquisition of many brain images over a su...
Quality control tests for PET/MRI vary widely in Europe 09 Oct 2019 © AuntMinnieEurope.com A survey of eight large European imaging facilities with extensive clinical experience of PET/MRI has found wide variations in daily quality control and assurance procedures that ensure their proper func...
In MRI-guided needle interventions, such as biopsies and brachytherapy, tissue deformation caused by needle movement may result in localization errors and thus hamper the outcome of the procedure. Monitoring the local tissue deformation provides the ability to compensate for it, e.g., by increasing...

The adoption of machine learning (ML) and, more specifically, deep learning (DL) applications into all major areas of our lives is underway. The development of trustworthy AI is especially important in medicine due to the large implications for patients
A quality assurance programme should make provisions for adequate training for all personnel with quality assurance responsibilities. The training should be specific to the facility and the equipment in use. 9. Setting up of committee. Large facilities such as teaching or referral or specialist ...
QC measures for clinical enter- prises have long been implemented with many of the quality assurance tests required before any insurance reimbursement can be received for imaging services [1]. The lack of guidance for preclinical quality control can often be a barrier for imaging laboratories to ...
