September 8th (9:00 a.m. MDT)

Title: Multi-centre Longitudinal Quantitative ADC QA using a Room Temperature ADC phantom

Summary: Work spanning 2 years, 9 scanners at 5 centers to evaluate repeatability and reproducibility of quantitative ADC measurements in preparation for longitudinal clinical trials incorporating quantitative ADC as a biomarker of cancer, using the qMRI room temperature ADC phantom. Study results and discussion of the utility of the phantom.

Speaker Bio: Chris Moore – clinical scientist, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.  Chris completed an undergraduate physics degree at The University of Manchester. After a brief time as a software engineer, he successfully applied for the Scientist Training Programme (STP) in medical physics. He completed the programme in September 2021 and has taken on a clinical role in the MR group.  Chris splits his time between regional physics support and providing research support to the Radiotherapy Related Research group, with research interests including image registration, quantitative MR imaging biomarkers and longitudinal quantitative quality assurance of DWI images.

Format:  One Houre Session.  Talk followed by Q&A.

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.
