HQ Imaging has developed different diffusion phantoms for different radiological applications. Each of the phantoms can be manufactured especially for you. Please contact HQ Imaging for more information about the phantoms and the analysis of the phantom measurements. Or you can also immediately order the diffusion phantom of your choice. We will get back to you as soon as possible!
ADC Phantom
- Isotropic gel phantom with two different values of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
- Verification of ADC measurements using conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences
DTI Basic Phantom
- Circular fiber phantom
- Ground truth for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
- Verification of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) measurements
DTI Resolution Phantom
- Circular phantom with fiber strands of different cross section
- Verification of the influence of voxel size and slice orientation on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
- Validation of the processing pipeline
Q-Ball Crossing Phantom
- Fiber crossing phantom
- Verification of advanced diffusion imaging methods such as q-ball imaging
- Fiber tracking
HQ Imaging diffusion phantoms enable you to perform quality assurance of the complete diffusion imaging pipeline. A variety of customers can benefit from this wide range of applications: In everyday clinical practice, the diffusion phantoms can ensure the orderly functioning of diffusion MRI. In clinical research, diffusion phantoms ensure the comparability between different subjects of a study or even between different MRI systems at different locations e.g. in multicenter clinical trials. Diffusion phantoms are also an extremely valuable tool in the development of new diffusion MRI imaging sequences and post processing schemes, because they offer a well-defined ground truth in real MRI measurements.
