Synopsis

Keywords: Phantoms, Phantoms, 3D PrintingCommercial phantom objects for use in MR can be expensive and poorly representative of human anatomy. 3D printing provides the potential to produce cheaper, novel and reproducible phantoms . This project investigates the potential use of 3D printed materials in the construction of an anthropomorphic head phantom for MRI. It can be effectively split into two different, smaller projects: investigation into MR properties of 3D printed materials and design of an anthropomorphic head phantom for MRI.
