Quality assessment for images obtained using 3D printed stereotaxic frame v1

This protocol describes the steps taken to assess whether MR signal noise and distortion is introduced by utilization of a 3D printed plastic stereotaxic frame. The computer-aided design files and engineering drawings for the frame used in this protocol are publicly available, with the modular design allowing for low cost and manageable manufacturing.
