This
study presents a new DCE-MRI phantom designed for calibration of MRI systems
to be used in multi-site clinical trials. Preliminary results at four
clinical sites show the ability of the phantom to reveal critical
similarities but also expected and unexpected differences in the images and
derived DCE-MRI parameters.
