Rear End Bell Replacement

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Replace Rear End Bell
    note:

    After end bell is replaced, a good seal is required to prevent air leaks. Any air leaks between RF body coil and end bell can cause a loud humming noise during patient scanning. If possible, conduct an air leakage test prior to bridge installation. This requires connecting power to the blower box and connecting a 6-inch blower hose from the blower box to the bulkhead.
