Development of a Skeletal Muscle Mimic Phantom Compatible with QCT and MR Imaging
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop a skeletal muscle mimic phantom compatible with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and magnetic resonance imaging, yielding physiologically appropriate values.
METHODS: Agar-based phantoms contained varying concentrations of CuCl2 and EDTA to adjust T2 relaxation time and phantom density concurrently. T2 relaxation times were quantified using a 4-mm single-slice fast spin echo sequence …
