Design and Production of a 3D Printed Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for MRI – The Story so Far

Commercial phantom objects for use in MR can be expensive and poorly representative of human anatomy. 3D printing provides the potential to produce cheaper, novel and reproducible phantoms. This project investigates the potential use of 3D printed materials in the construction of an anthropomorphic head phantom for MRI. It can be effectively split into two different, smaller projects: investigation into MR properties of 3D printed materials and design of an anthropomorphic head phantom for MRI.
