Project Overview

Today's MR system and applications development relies heavily on invivo scans to evaluate and assess the system quality and capability, this method is no longer effective for a systems that are targeted for patient/subject population that is not readily accessible, such as the neonate population.

This project is to define and build the MR Phantom sets that will reflect the physiological and anatomical characters of the neonate population, for MR system evaluation and testing.

The project involves: 1). the project leader to work with GE MR system engineers to define the phantom set that is needed, including the key physiological and anatomical characteristics, 2). then translate into chemical and mechanical design of the phantom 3). procure the materials and build the phantom 4). evaluate and use the phantom in MR system environment.

Digital phantom (or idea dataset creation)is also desired for simulating the MR effects if they can be properly constructed.
