There is a need for highly standardized isotropic
diffusion phantoms. Most isotropic phantoms are
difficult to manufacture in large quantities, are
difficult to obtain, are expensive, contain toxic or
flammable substances and/or require careful handling,
which makes them unsuitable for use in a clinical
setting. For CENTER-TBI, a large European multi-center
study to investigate effective treatments for traumatic
brain injury in a clinical environment, 35 phantoms were
needed. We have created an easy to use, robust,
cost-effective, and safe isotropic diffusion phantom,
which can be produced in a reproducible way.
