Temporal and Across-Phantom Evaluation of Diffusion Measures in Multiple Anisotropic Diffusion Phantoms

Determining data quality and MR stability over time is an important issue in DW-MRI. Until now, this was done with isotropic phantoms or human subjects. We investigated the temporal DW-MRI characteristics of an anisotropic phantom, as well as the agreement in DW-MRI measures in 5 different anisotropic phantoms.
