What is Veriflux?

A SaaS platform designed to enhance quality assurance (QA) for MRI.
Includes a proprietary phantom to standardize and automate MRI scanner stability testing.
It is offered on a subscription basis with 1, 2, 3, and 5 year contracts.
Provides immediate Green light - Red light feedback

Overview

Our SaaS platform was developed based on the requirements needed by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Indeed, fMRI by definition pushes an MRI scanner's hardware to the limits of its performance, whilst demanding exceptional stability in order to detect small changes in blood oxygenation levels. For over 18 years MRI system stability for fMRI has been monitored using the fBIRN fMRI quality assurance protocol,which specifies a phantom, imaging protocol and analysis algorithm to quantify performance.

Designed to fit within modern multi-channel MRI head coils, the VERIFLUX Phantom uses a proprietary, water-based, synthetic gel inside a HDPE spherical shell, resulting in a test object that meets the characteristics established by the fBIRN committee.
It can be used in conjunction with the VERIFLUX SaaS, providing an easy-to-use, automated fBIRN stability analysis for dedicated management of quality assurance tests.

MRI Quality Assurance Goals

Describe the quality of acquired MRI data through the use of various metrics
- Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR):
  Calculated over a central region of interest (ROI) as the average signal summary value divided by the square root of the variance summary value divided by the number N of acquisition points.
- Signal-to-Fluctuation-Noise Ratio (SFNR):
  Calculated as the average over a central ROI as the signal divided by the fluctuation noise, obtained as the standard deviation (SD) of the residuals, voxel by voxel, after detrending the original signal using a polynomial function
- Radius of Decorrelation (RDC):
  Defined as a measure of the size of the ROI at which statistical independence of the voxels is lost.

Use the above metrics to monitor the long-term stability of the MRI scanner and its suitability for advanced brain imaging protocols
Enable between sites assessment of MRI data quality

About the Veriflux Phantom

VERIFLUX phantom uses a synthetic polymer as a gelling agent that offers several advantages over the traditional agar/agarose fBIRN phantom. Being a natural product derived from seaweed, agar is subject to significant variation in gel properties and relaxation times from batch to batch.
Due to the high-temperature processing that agar requires, traditional fBIRN phantoms suffer from the presence of bubbles. In addition, agar is mechanically fragile and a growth medium for bacteria.

Our VERIFLUX gel:

Is practically bubble-free, due to our superior, room-temperature manufacturing process.
Has enhanced standardization of relaxation times controlled by paramagnetic salts.
Is less prone to fracturing and more mechanically stable than agar due to its inherent elasticity.
