Abstract:
MRI simulator(MRI-Sim) images have unique clinical advantages with higher resolution of soft tissue and clearer visualization of tissue boundaries. Thus, the precise positioning of the tumor target area can be achieved and it is widely used in the field of radiotherapy. This article focuses on the acceptance test project and image quality assurance work of MRI-Sim equipment. The obtained ACR phantom images were used to analyze various image quality assurance indicators, and the results all reached the set standards, thereby ensuring that the obtained images meet the requirements of clinical applications.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
