Characterization and inter‐scanner reproducibility of geometric distortion on a small footprint, high‐performance, head‐specific 0.5 T scanner

The total residual distortions measured in this phantom study were less than half the recommended value required for radiosurgery and significantly better than data published from other MR systems. This demonstrates that in addition to the compact footprint of the Synaptive 0.5T scanner, it exceeds current standards for geometric accuracy.
