Practical diffusion phantoms are urgently needed for technique development, protocol harmonization and quality assurance of quantitative diffusion MRI. Ideally, a diffusion phantom should have a single-peak NMR spectrum, Gaussian diffusion, with a wide range of tunable apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC). In this work, we developed and validated a novel diffusion phantom based on acetone-water mixtures doped with MnCl₂. This phantom exhibits the desired signal behavior, where water modulates the ADC of acetone, and MnCl₂ both eliminates water signal (through T2 shortening) and shortens the T1 of acetone.
