Anthropomorphic phantoms for MRI imaging are rapidly evolving also thanks to the increase of 3D printing technologies. Their realization may represent an important support for the implementation of advanced quantitative imaging technique such as Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF)or Electrical Properties Tomography (EPT). Even if formulations of gel based tissue-mimicking materials have been widely explored, generally they lacked in achieving the simultaneous tuning of electrical and relaxation properties of the mimicked tissues. In this study, customized moulds of white and grey matter are combined to realize brain-like gel phantoms in which relaxation times, conductivity and permittivity have been measured.
