[Abstract] Objective To investigate the use of multiparametric water models for quality control of the quantitative detection capability of MRI.Materials and Methods We designed a multiparametric water model and characterized the proton density (PD), longitudinal and transverse relaxation time (T1 & T2), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) by different structural layers and characteristic solutions built into the layers in the multiparametric water model. After setting the value, the grayscale value of the target area of MRI image was extracted, multi-domain information was obtained, and the quality control calibration algorithm was established by data fitting.Results Firstly, effective quality control (QC) was conducted for the stability of the quantitative values of the MRI, and then the grey-scale convolution + BP (back propagation) neural network algorithm was used to analyze the QC data, which could improve its accuracy.Conclusions This study has developed a multi-parameter water model for the quality control of functional imaging quantitative techniques, established and standardized a method for evaluating the performance of the equipment traceable to the international unit system, and constructed the basis for the quality control of magnetic resonance equipment in China.
