Gradient calibration is critical to accurate sampling of q-space in diffusion MRI, particularly for applications such as diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) that rely on a precise relationship of q-space sampling. Cyclooctane possesses a number of properties that make it suitable for gradient calibration at high b-values, including isotropic diffusion, relatively low diffusivity and high viscosity, and a single proton resonance. We present the novel use of a phantom intended for gradient calibration in DSI and other high b-value q-space imaging applications.
