Synopsis
Microscopically anisotropic but globally isotropic DTI MRI phantom was designed and fabricated using a 2 Photon Nanoscribe 3D Printer. The capillary array blocks were measured aligned and randomly oriented to determine the ability of ddPFG and DTI to characterize local anisotropy in a globally isotropic system. These experiments combined computational methods can provide MRI phantoms that can be employed to validate novel or proposed microstructure imaging experiments.
