Coil configurations must be automatically installed in the system only for DVMR. The following coil configuration names are required to be present:	-	-

This procedure will set up for the automated MCQA test using the 3.0T HD 8-Channel CTL array by GE (M3335LM).

Note:

Coils do not ship with phantoms. Phantoms come in a unified phantom set with the MR system.
