Abstract

To provide lab scale in vitro phantom solutions for cardiac MR (CMR) studies that can be used for imaging structure and function as well as calorimetric measurements. The phantoms were purposed to accept user inputs such as beats per minute (BPM) and flow rate. We developed two generations of phantoms. The first phantom was developed using poly vinyl alcohol driven by a mechanical setup. The second was a 3D-printed phantom controlled through a user interface (UI) and a peristaltic pump. These phantoms were scanned for the characteristics mentioned above, which were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed through postprocessing of CMR images and compared with in vivo data.
