APS Session – Multiparametric Tissue Mimics for Breast Imaging and Medical Device Testing

Multiparametric Tissue Mimics for Breast Imaging and Medical Device Testing
Stephen Russek, Todor Karaulanov (presenter), Willaim Hollander, Chamni Jayarathna, Callie Weiant, John Wenzel, Shannon John

We present our work on developing anatomically realistic, quantitative multiparametric MRI (qMRI) phantoms designed to standardize imaging of both healthy and diseased breast tissue. The lack of standardized, morphology-accurate phantoms currently limits the effectiveness of qMRI in both clinical and research settings. Without realistic tissue-mimicking models, radiologists, technologists, and researchers face challenges in learning optimal acquisition protocols and interpreting quantitative data.

Standardizing Breast Diffusion MRI: An Anthropomorphic 2D Phantom for Quantitative and Reproducible ADC Measurements

Stop by our ISMRM Poster to learn more about our recent work – Standardizing Breast Diffusion MRI: An Anthropomorphic 2D Phantom for Quantitative and Reproducible ADC Measurements. Impact: A morphologically accurate, patient-derived breast phantom filled with NIST-traceable PVP diffusion mimics provides a stable, anatomically realistic reference for DWI calibration and QA/QC. It enables harmonized quantitative breast […]
