Synopsis

Brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurements are sensitive to pathological changes, but in order for them to be of greatest use it is vital to understand intra-scanner and inter-scanner variations in DTI metrics. Here we demonstrate a physical phantom with variable pore sizes and fibre orientation that can be used to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of DTI measurements across scanners and protocols and present its application in assessing 9 separate scanner/protocol combinations.
