Before using MR-images for radiotherapeutic treatment planning, it is necessary to check whether geometrical distortions influence the calculated dose distribution. In this study, 27 MRI units from different manufacturers and with different magnetic field strengths were investigated. First, all geom

## Abstract Metallic implants in MRI cause spin‐echo (SE) images to be distorted in the slice and frequency‐encoding directions. Chang and Fitzpatrick (IEEE Trans Med Imaging 1992;11:319–329) proposed a distortion correction method (termed the CF method) based on the magnitude images from two SE ac
## Abstract Quantitative errors (due to magnetic susceptibility artifacts) in the measurement of the cervical spinal neural foramina with fast gradient‐echo (GRE) magnetic resonance imaging were assessed. Cylindric phantoms of different materials were used to demonstrate the nature of magnetic susc
