Abstract :
The diversity of machines and the complexity of the technique of MRI imaging require protocols of quality control. These protocols are generally realised with a lot of phantoms. However, these operations of quality control require a lot of time. In order to reduce these operations and save time, we realise a multitask phantom. The phantom is constructed with polyamide and filled with a solution of copper sulphate (CUSO4). It is called multi-task phantom because it contains some compartment characterised by specific geometrical forms. Thus, it allows us to do several controls through only one acquisition protocol
