PURE compensation

The PURE compensation User CV is used to fine tune the image uniformity. The CV is only available for certain pulse sequences, coils, and anatomies that are 3.0T PURE compatible. If you have selected PURE from the Intensity Correction menu on the Details page and the User CV does not appear on the Advanced tab, then it is not compatible with your series.

  • PURE compensation range: -100% to +100%.
  • If the center of the image is dark, increase the value.
  • If the center of the image is bright, reduce value.
  • Recommended tuning range is form -20% to + 20%.
