CT/MR phantoms for quality assessment

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a radiation-free imaging technique. Therefore, when possible, should be preferred over other imaging modalities. However, Computed Tomography (CT) is still the gold standard in some organ imaging (lung, bone..) more challenging for MRI, and new MRI techniques should be validated against CT. We investigate the development of realistic CT/MR phantoms for quality assessment.
