01Power Issues

  • Check if the power cord is properly plugged in.
  • Ensure that the power source is active and providing electricity.
  • If the machine has a battery backup, make sure it is fully charged.
  • Inspect the power switch and ensure it is in the ON position.
  • If there is still no power, check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped breakers or blown fuses.

02Image Quality Issues

  • Check if the coils and cables are properly connected to the machine.
  • Ensure that the imaging software and firmware are up to date.
  • Inspect the imaging coils for any damages or malfunctions.
  • Clean the coils and cables to remove any dust or debris.
  • If the image quality issue persists, calibrate the imaging parameters or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

03Noise Issues

  • Check for any loose or damaged parts that may be causing the noise.
  • Inspect the cooling fans and ensure they are functioning properly.
  • If the noise is coming from the magnet, contact the manufacturer for guidance as it may require professional intervention.
  • Ensure that the room's acoustic conditions are suitable for an MRI machine.
  • If necessary, use noise-reducing measures such as earplugs or soundproofing.
