To begin, tomographic imaging involves creating slices images at specific positions of the human body. Recall that in the magnetic field of the MR scanner, a spatial distribution of longitudinal magnetization is built up in the body. However, if all the spins in the head were excited with one RF pulse, the total transverse magnetization in the head would generate the MR signal and no spatial resolution would be obtained. So how are MR signals from different locations in the body distinguished? This course will discuss how an image with spatial structures displayed as different gray values can be generated from an MR signal. Inspect and clean the sample racks Follow this procedure: Ensure that the racks are free of labels and tabs are not broken Ensure the barcode can be clearly read Wipe with a lint-free cloth moistened with 10% bleach Wash with soap and water Rinse and dry thoroughly Select Next to continue.          Introducing gradients was a revolutionary idea that started MRI. Applying a gradient to a magnetic field disrupts the homogeneity of the magnetic field in a controlled way. As a result, the spins at different locations in the body precess at different frequencies.  A gradient is a slope that can be compared to the incline of a road. From a mathematical point of view, a gradient defines the strength and direction of a magnetic field changing in space. In terms of MR technology, a magnetic field gradient is a controlled change in the magnetic field strength in a certain direction, either a linear increase or decrease. In a homogeneous magnetic field, the field strength is the same everywhere B0 (pronounced "bee-naught"). For this reason, all proton spins show the same precession frequency (pronounced "omega-naught") that is proportional to the field strength. The magnetic resonance signal is the same everywhere. When a magnetic field gradient is applied, the field shows a linear increase. The precession of the proton spins in this direction varies accordingly. They precess more slowly in a weaker field and more quickly in a stronger field. As a result, they show different resonance frequencies.   Weekly maintenance is performed on the following modules: Input/Output Module Centrifuge Module Aliquoter Module Refer to the Aptio Automation Operator's Guide when performing these procedures. Follow your laboratory's operating procedures for handling biohazardous materials. Document completion of these procedures in the Weekly Maintenance Log. Note: Product availability varies by country. Select Next to continue. A big advantage of gradients in MRI is that they allow the positioning of arbitrary slice planes. Recall that for transverse slices, the z-gradient is switched on when the RF Pulse is applied. For sagittal slice positioning, the x-gradient is switched on. For coronal slice positioning, the y-gradient is switched on. To obtain oblique slices, two or three gradients must be switched on simultaneously with the RF pulse and their effect is superimposed. A single oblique slice is generated by two gradients, for example, in the z- and y-direction. The angle between the two directions determines the amplitude for each gradient. For a double-oblique slice, the system switches all three gradients simultaneously.   Monthly maintenance is performed on the following modules and components: Sample Racks Robot Grippers Input/Output Module Centrifuge Module Refrigerated Storage Module Decapper Module Desealer Module Aliquoter Module Sealer Module Refer to the Aptio Automation Operator's Guide when performing these procedures. Follow your laboratory's operating procedures for handling biohazardous materials. Document completion of these procedures in the Monthly Maintenance Log. Note: Product availability varies by country. Select Next to continue. The same frequency-encoding trick cannot be used in the y-direction of the transverse slice to encode a two-dimensional image because two different voxels could have the same frequency and not be differentiated. Therefore, a different method must be selected to encode the y-direction. During the time between the RF pulse and the echo, a gradient is switched on briefly in the y-direction (perpendicular to the Slice and Read directions). As a result, the spins precess at different speeds for a short time. After the gradient is switched off, the spins along the y-axis show different phase shifts directly proportional to their locations. This process is called phase-encoding. The associated gradient is the phase-encoding gradient (Gp) (pronounced "gee-pee") and it is switched on to define multiple lines of voxels. The Fourier Transform is also able to relate the phase shifts to locations. However, this technique requires more time because 256 MR signals have to be generated for 256 different locations. In other words, 256 different phase-encoding  gradient amplitudes (known as "steps') would be required. This is why the pulse sequence has to be repeated 256 times for a 256 x 256 matrix. Thus, a raw-data matrix is filled line by line with the measured echoes. The lines represent frequencies, the columns represent phases. Note: Only 8 lines are shown in this graphic.

The steps required to process a sample include: •Start the system and Log on •Check and replace necessary system supplies. For example: cuvettes, stirrer bars, probe cleaner. •Prepare and load necessary reagents •Confirm methods needed have been calibrated and QC'd (pronounced Q-seed) •Load sample onto analyzer •Release results •Print results   Samples are transported in sample tubes. A sample rack can carry up 5 sample tubes. Each tube position is lettered from A to E. All position labels are on the top of the rack. In a sample rack, primary or secondary tubes can be loaded. The barcode labels of the tubes must be visible in the slot of the rack. The color clips are used to define different rack types, for example, STAT racks.   There are three specific accessories available for processing samples.  Racks Adapters And Rack Trays    A rack is loaded on the input lane of the sample manager. When the load button is pushed, the rack is moved into the analyzer. More racks can be loaded without pushing the load button again. Based on the sample barcode and information from the LIS, sample processing starts. If default profiles or default aliquot volumes are defined, sample processing also starts without orders. The processed racks move to the output lane where they can be removed from the analyzer.  Press the unload button, if required.   Sample dilutions are performed automatically depending on the assay. All requested samples are diluted according to the assay procedure definition. The maximum dilution is 1 to 1000. A sample can be measured up to 20 times per order as defined in the assay procedure. The method to calculate the raw value of all measurements can be defined by the user. The individual measured values can deviate from the mean only by a defined percentage. Otherwise the result is flagged as doubtful.   Non-barcoded samples are assigned and processed according to the entries made in the Loading - Pre-identification screen of the software. If a barcode is unreadable or missing, the Loading - Problem racks screen shows the rack and the position of the unidentified tube or bottle on the rack. The ID of the unidentified tube or bottle must be checked and any missing information must be entered manually.     The sample integrity is checked prior to processing orders. P.S.I. evaluates the actual sample tube fill level and the measured H, I, and L concentration ranges for interfering substances. P.S.I. is in effect, if one or both of the following conditions apply: The maximum and minimum fill height must be defined for the relevant sample tube types. The H.I.L. measurement must be activated and the sample type is appropriate for H.I.L. measurement. Proper-fill checks the sample volume in a primary sample tube. The following fill check results may be displayed: • The sample tube is underfilled during aliquoting, but the sample can be measured. The sample is pipetted and measured according to the orders in the job list. A symbol is displayed in the dialog Jobs, a flag is displayed in the dialog Jobs - Sample result info, and a symbol is displayed in the column Level in the dialog Jobs - Sample info. • The sample tube is overfilled during aliquoting, but the sample can be measured.
