Background: Radiology quality control is a part of radiology quality assurance which is directly linked with physical measurements of facility performance and indirectly linked with the expected image quality. The advantage of proceeding with the performance test on MRI device is the consistency of operational testing that integrated of all MRI system and producing high-quality image, reducing the possibility of artifact appearance, and also preemptive identification of potential problems. Methods: The method of this research is qualitative survey. The researchers are doing the survey on Quality Control test using ACR on MRI device brand Siemens Magnetom Concerto 0,2T on Radiology department of RSUD DR Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan. Results: The whole result of this research shows that MRI device on RSUD DR Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan has yet to fulfill the international standard on 5 parameters, such as the SNR testing, Artifact Analysis, Geometric Accuracy, High Contrast Resolution, and Low Contrast Resolution. On the other hand, 2 other parameters such as slice thickness accuracy and slice position accuracy of the MRI device has already fulfilled the standard and have to improve on the 5 parameters which haven't fulfill the factory and international standards.
Conclusion:The whole result of this research shows that MRI device on RSUD DR Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan has yet to fulfill the international standard.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
