Abstract

A 3D quadric head phantom with MRI physical properties (tissue relaxation, proton density, and magnetic susceptibility) is presented. The phantom can be used to generate analytic k-space data for both 3D and 2D multi-slice acquisitions to compare their imaging performances and characteristics. The 2D multi-slice acquisitions are simulated from the 3D phantom using a matrix-based calculation of the intersections of each imaging plane (or slice) and the ellipsoids.
