MRI quality control from the physicist who wrote the book.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Moriel NessAiver has kept MRI scanners performing at their best — and made MRI physics make sense to the people who run them. ACR accreditation, daily QA, and fMRI stability testing, all handled simply.

Not all physicists are created equal

Two services. One specialty.

Clinical MRI QC

Easy ACR accreditation.

  • Daily QA from a 5-minute scan — we analyze the results and alert you within half an hour.
  • Yearly full-system testing that checks every channel of every RF coil.
  • Over 99% first-attempt ACR pass rate across 1,000+ submissions. If a submission fails, we pay the resubmission fee.

Functional MRI QC

Stable machines. Accurate results.

  • The first complete fMRI QA package: 40+ stability metrics for every slice and time point.
  • Proprietary detection of problems in modern multiband protocols.
  • Instant anomaly alerts, with longitudinal tracking against benchmarks for similar scanners.

Simplified daily QA. You run the scans. We do the rest.

Results available online within half an hour.

MRI education, put simply

Cover of the spiral-bound textbook: All you really need to know about MRI Physics, by Moriel NessAiver, Ph.D.

All you really need to know about MRI physics

One of the most popular MRI physics books in existence — the standard prep for technologists facing the Registry exam and residents facing the Radiology Boards. 130 spiral-bound pages that lay flat on the table, with room for your own notes.

RSNA 2011: 534 performance evaluations, collated. What twelve years of magnet data says about real-world scanner performance.

MRI Safety

Objects fly in. People get burned.

MRI accidents are real, and newcomers rarely take them seriously until they see one. Show these pictures to everyone who works near a magnet — before they walk past the 5-gauss line.
