Phantoms have been used in MRI for sequence optimization and scanner calibrations. Recent developments in 3D printing technology have provided tools to manufacture application specific phantoms in a fast and reliable way. In this work, we used 3D printing technology to build a resolution phantom for optimization of trabecular bone structure imaging. We used rods with different thickness, orientation and spacing for capturing the range of possible trabecular bone structures. Developed phantom was used to investigate the effect of slice thickness on trabecular bone structure imaging.
