          Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) was introduced to 
						explore the human connectome in vivo; although many 
						fiber tractography (FT) algorithms exist, proving the 
						effectiveness of their estimates is challenging. We 
						present a biologically and physically realistic software 
						phantom, with brain-like fibres configuration and 
						images, fully tunable in terms of simulated 
						acquisition parameters: a realistic bench test for 
						quantitative analyses of every DWI-related algorithm.
