An apparatus capable of high precision (< 1 ppb) measurements of magnetic susceptibility has been developed with broad potential in the characterization of materials for MR instrumentation. Measurements of 3D-printed materials relevant to RF coil construction have been performed. For example, 3D-printed ultem differs in susceptibility from water, despite pure ultems excellent match. Poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate-based 3D-printed materials offer alternatives which closely match waters magnetic susceptibility.
