CaliberMRI announces release of the qDisc, a new quantitative MRI phantom for added functionality of the Medium ACR Phantom

BOULDER, Colo.Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CaliberMRI, an industry leader in standardizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), announced the release of a new quantitative MRI phantom compatible with the Medium ACR phantom. CaliberMRI’s qDisc (quantitative Dual Imaging Standardization Compartment) Model 141 allows sites to baseline T1, T2, ADC, and Proton Density in a single slice when scanning the Medium ACR phantom. The qDisc includes the Company’s patented MR readable LC Thermometer and is supported by qCal-MR®, an automated QA/QC analysis software. “This offering provides a practical option for gathering important quantitative metrics during routine scans with an ACR phantom,” says William Hollander, CEO of CaliberMRI. “With the rise of quantitative MRI offerings, the qDisc can be used as a first step toward harmonization of MRI scanners and AI software for analysis”. Hollander added. This phantom is intended to complement CaliberMRI’s more complete phantom platform solutions.

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

Multiparametric Tissue Mimics for Breast Imaging and Medical Device Testing

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.
