The purpose of this work is to develop a standardization
phantom for quantitative perfusion with arterial spin
labeling. A two-chamber phantom was constructed
consisting of glass beads and synthetic fiber mesh . The
phantom was tested using pCASL labeling with a
FLASH-based readout at various post-label delays and
flow rates. As expected, increasing the flow rate
resulted in corresponding increases in the percent
difference images. Such a phantom could be used for QA
and sequence standardization across ASL sequences,
vendors, and sites.
