Gradient Echo 10 , to assess susceptibility of the system to
electromagnetic disturbance caused by peripheral equipment. The
parameters are: TE = 10 ms, TR = 500 ms, FOV = 200*200,
acquisition matrix = 256*256, number of slices = 11, slice
thickness = 5 mm, gap = 0 mm, number of excitations = 6.
Patient area
The patient area is defined as the area in which intentional and/or
unintentional contact can occur between the patient and system parts, or
between the patient and other persons touching system parts.
Inside the patient area, the system guarantees a safety level comparable
to that supplied by electro-medical equipment conforming to the standard
EN 60601-1 and subsequent amendments.

If the phantom leaks some solution or breaks, the following
precautions should be taken:
- use gloves, goggles, safety clothing and footwear to handle the
leaked solution
-use inert material (sand or earth for example) to absorb the material
and clean the area with water
-collect the contaminant material and dispose of in accordance with
current national, federal and/or local standards
If the solution in the phantom comes into contact with the skin, it may
cause an allergic reaction to the Nickel and in contact with the eyes
may cause irritation.
