In vitro phantoms play a critical role in the assessment of novel Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) methods related to acquisition and reconstruction, among other advantages such as repeatability and reproducibility. In this work, we demonstrate a 3D printed breast DCE-MRI phantom that is capable of producing diverse kinetic curves as those seen in human patients. The wash-in and wash-out characteristics were controlled through user controlled Ktrans values and the geometry of the phantom respectively. The phantom demonstrated in this work is 3D printed, cost effective, user interface controlled, and integrated with a peristaltic pump to obtain different kinetic curves.
