    Abstract
    Recently, many studies have used T1 and T2 quantitative MRI in examining the brain and other body structures, to evaluate and follow up diseases, or simply for better understanding of the human body. Quality control on MRI scanners has been performed since the early eighties and nowadays the ACR MRI phantom is being used for the accreditation of the scanners, and quality control of their qualitative performance. In this study the same phantom is being used to obtain quantitative values of three regions in the phantom that might be used as reference for quantitative quality control. The results of the scans provided quantitative values that can be used as reference for the quality control of qMRI, and there was no difference after scanning the same regions twice. Further study is recommended to provide quantitative values for different MRI scanners strength to assure the use of ACR phantom as a tool for quality control of qMRI scanners.
