Spherical Housing 
Phantoms

Spherical housing phantoms provide optimal quality for independent scans of the phantom as a reference standard.

Spherical Housing Phantoms are ideal for:

  • Site qualification for clinical trials
  • Periodic quality assurance
  • Testing of new quantitative MRI methods

The housing holds vials inside a doped water bath that is designed to produce a highly homogeneous magnetic field environment, and is optimized for a broad range of acquisition methods, including SSFP and EPI approaches.                                             

Spherical Housing Phantom Features

  • Contains 6-18 vials that can be easily aligned with the main magnetic field
  • Phantom vials are filled with gels* to minimize motion-related artifacts
  • Asymmetrically positioned vials to avoid left-right and superior-inferior vial identification ambiguities
  • Doped fill solution to minimize water-fat swap artifacts
  *All vials are gel-based except the 100% PDFF vial
