[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical image quality of central nervous system of different types of MRI imaging equipment.Materials and Methods: According to the "MRI Accreditation Program Clinical Image Quality Guide" issued by the American College of Radiology in 2013, 531 cases of non-contrast brain MRI images were collected from more than 40 medical institutions nationwide, and 4 common sequences of these cases were evaluated by Likert five-point scale method. All the samples were divided into domestic group and imported group, as well as 1.5 T group and 3.0 T group for comparative study.Results: In the comparative study, most clinical image evaluation indexes of the 3.0 T group were better than those of the 1.5 T group (P<0.05). In the 1.5 T group, most evaluation indexes of the imported subgroup were superior to those of the domestic subgroup (P <0.05). In the 3.0 T group, the difference of most evaluation indexes between domestic and imported subgroups were not statistically significant. In the 1.5 T group, one of the domestic equipment (United Imaging) and other imported equipment (Siemens and GE) were selected for comparative study. Some evaluation indexes of the domestic equipment were better than those of the imported equipment, but there was still a gap between domestic and imported equipment with respect to some other evaluation indexes.Conclusions: In the aspect of the central nervous system MRI imaging, the image quality of the 3.0 T equipment is generally superior to that of the 1.5 T equipment, and the image quality of the domestic equipment is better than that of the imported equipment in some aspects, but there still exist some gaps between the overall level of the image quality of the domestic equipment and that of the imported equipment to some extent.
