Synopsis

Keywords: Software Tools, Software Tools, post mortem imagingA MR Image simulation system for post mortem subject scanning is developed and validated. The system has MR console like user interface. It has body temperature input as well as tissue fixation condition input, so that post mortem MR imaging can be simulated for various scanning condition. The system was validated for T1 weighted image and FLAIR for low body temperature condition. The result showed the system could simulate the actual acquired image contrast change associated with body temperature change. The proposed system can be used to predict MR contrast change associated with body temperature as well as fixation condition.
