The Model 604-GS provides a tissue-like imaging environ
ment for assessing geometric distortion in whole-body MRI
scanners. The 604-GS is designed to assess image distortion
caused by B0
inhomogeneity and nonlinearity of the magnetic
gradients. Unlike other air-filled phantoms, the liquid-filled
604-GS is also sensitive to chemical shifts and susceptibility
artifacts, additional causes of distortion found when encoun
tering density differences in diagnostic MRI and radiation
therapy treatment planning.
The phantom features a unique orthogonal 3D grid that
provides complete geometric data throughout the imaging
volume. Users can fill the phantom with the AAPM TG 100
recommended solution, or with specialized solutions for high
f
ield MRI or unique scan sequences. Ground-truth measure
ments of grid locations can be obtained through CT scanning
of the phantom.
The phantom is marked for ease of alignment to position la
sers and is designed for use with both curved and flat gantry
tables.
