The MR Sample Comparison Phantom is a compact platform for direct comparison of up to five samples under identical MRI conditions. It is designed for quantitative MRI and relaxometry, contrast-agent development, molecular and cellular imaging, sequence optimization, and preclinical research.
Five independently fillable sample volumes are surrounded by a separately fillable background chamber, providing a controlled and reproducible imaging environment.
