Abstract

We used the ISMRM/NIST system phantom to assess variations of T1 measurements across MRI systems at 1.5 T and 3 T, to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of the T1 measurements. This study demonstrates that T1 variations from NMR-measured value are correlated site-to-site within a vendor and by position within the head coil. The deviation from the NMR-measured values is greater at 3 T than at 1.5 T. The VFA data has a larger variation than IR; B1 inhomogeneity could contribute to the larger systematic error in VFA measurements. The ISMRM/NIST system phantom is an excellent tool for evaluating multi-site MRI acquisition protocols.
