The MR coil is a vital component that directly affects the imaging quality in MR device systems. Coils used to scan different anatomical regions serve as a bridge between the patient and the device. Therefore, regular inspection of coil systems and timely maintenance and repair services directly increase the performance of the MR device. This article discusses the importance of coil maintenance and technical service processes.
MR coil systems contain a large number of cables, connectors and electronic components. These parts can wear out over time for various reasons. The most common problems include disconnections, increased resistance in internal conductors, weakening of magnetic signals and physical deformations. Such failures can cause decreased clarity and diagnostic errors during imaging. In such cases, fast service time plays a critical role.
Anod intervenes in any malfunction that may occur in coil systems in a short time with the professional service services it provides to MR device users. The company manages the repair process with both on-site technical support and detailed tests conducted in the laboratory environment. When users detect performance deficiencies in the system, they can get support from Anod's expert teams and ensure that the device becomes functional again in the shortest time.
Although the service period varies depending on the type of fault, an approximate schedule is usually provided after the preliminary assessment. The most common operations in MR coil repairs are cable replacement, internal circuit repair and coil outer surface renewal. These operations are carried out using special test devices and quality control is provided by measuring the RF signal production efficiency of the system after each repair.
Coil failures can cause major failures not only in the coil but also in the MR device when not serviced on time. Therefore, periodic control and maintenance planning are of great importance. It is recommended that coil systems are tested every three months, especially in clinics where high-frequency imaging is performed.
Some of the most common failure notifications regarding MR coils are: low signal, coil not being detected by the system and banding in the image. These symptoms are important warnings indicating that the device requires service. In addition, a loss of connection between the coil and the table system can completely stop the device from working.
Anod not only fixes the fault during the technical service process, but also applies the necessary maintenance protocols to extend the life of the coil system. The company ensures that coil systems operate with maximum efficiency by using the most up-to-date methods in the sector in MR device service services.
It should not be forgotten that in order to obtain a healthy and high-resolution image, not only the main device but also all connected peripherals should be checked regularly. In this context, Anod offers reliable solutions with coil support in open MRI machines and all MRI device systems.
