Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Phantoms: A Review and the Need for a System Phantom

October 4, 2017
Author(s)
Kathryn E. Keenan, Maureen Ainslie, Alexander J. Barker, Michael A. Boss, Kim M. Cecil, Cecil Charles, Thomas L. Chenevert, Laurence Clarke, Jeffrey L. Evelhoch, Paul Finn, Guoying Liu, Stephen E. Russek, Karl F. Stupic, Joshua D. Trzasko, Chun Yuan, Jie Zheng
The MRI community is using quantitative mapping techniques to complement qualitative imaging. For quantitative imaging to reach its full potential, it is necessary to analyze measurements across systems and longitudinally. Clinical use of quantitative

Accuracy, repeatability and interplatform reproducibility measurements of T 1 quantification methods used for DCE-MRI: results from a multicenter phantom study.

Octavia Bane, Stefanie J. Hectors, Mathilde Wagner, Lori L. Arlinghaus, Madhava P. Aryal, Yue Cao, Thomas L. Chenevert, Fiona Fennessy, Wei Huang, Nola M. Hylton, Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer, Katy Keenan, Dariya I. Malyarenko, Robert V. Mulkern, David C. Newitt, Stephen E. Russek, Karl Stupic, Michael A. Boss
Purpose: To determine the in vitro accuracy, test-retest repeatability, and interplatform reproducibility of T 1 quantification protocols used for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI at 1.5 and 3 T. Methods: A T 1 phantom with 14 samples was imaged at eight

Accuracy of magnetic resonance based susceptibility measurements

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used to map the magnetic susceptibility of tissue to identify cerebral microbleeds associated with traumatic brain injury and pathological iron deposits associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as

A medical device-grade T1 and ECV phantom for global T1 mapping quality assurance - The T 1 Mapping and ECV Standardization in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T1MES) program

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Gabriella Captur, Peter Gatehouse, Katy Keenan, Friso Heslinga, Ruediger Bruehl, Marcel Prothmann, Martin J. Graves, Richard J. Eames, Camilla Torlasco, Giulia Benedetti, Jacqueline Donovan, Bernd Ittermann, Redha Boubertakh, Andrew Bathgate, Celine Royet, Wenjie Pang, Reza Nezafat, Michael Salerno, Peter Kellman, James C. Moon
Background: T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) have the potential to guide patient care and serve as surrogate end-points in clinical trials, but measurements differ between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanners and pulse sequences. To

Comparison of T1 measurement using ISMRM/NIST system phantom

May 9, 2016

Kathryn E. Keenan, Karl F. Stupic, Michael A. Boss, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas L. Chenevert, Pottumarthi V. Prasad, Wilburn E. Reddick, Jie Zheng, Peng Hu, Edward F. Jackson
We used the ISMRM/NIST system phantom to assess variations of T1 measurements across MRI systems at 1.5 T and 3 T, to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of the T1 measurements. This study demonstrates that T1 variations from NMR-measured value

Variability and bias assessment in breast ADC measurement across multiple systems

February 29, 2016
Author(s)
Kathryn E. Keenan, Sheye O. Aliu, Lisa J. Wilmes, David C. Newitt, Ella F. Jones, Wen Li, Michael A. Boss, Karl F. Stupic, Stephen E. Russek, Nola M. Hylton
Purpose: To assess the ability of a recent, anatomically designed breast phantom incorporating T 1 and diffusion elements to serve as a quality control device for quantitative comparison of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements calculated from

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Kathryn E. Keenan, Sheye O. Aliu, Lisa J. Wilmes, David C. Newitt, Ella F. Jones, Wen Li, Michael A. Boss, Nola M. Hylton
Purpose: We present a breast phantom designed to enable quantitative assessment of measurements of T 1 relaxation time, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and other attributes of breast tissue, with long-term support from a national metrology institute

A Design-of-Experiments Approach to FEM Uncertainty Analysis for Optimizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging RF Coil Design
