NiCl2-containing spheres for T1 mapping between 20 ms and 1900 ms, 3.0 T at 20°C
The CaliberMRI Premium System Phantom’s T1 spheres contain nickel chloride of varying concentrations so you can standardize T1 longitudinal relaxation so qMRI brain researchers can analyze different properties of soft tissues using characteristic T1 water signals.
MnCl2-containing spheres for T2 mapping between 5 ms and 550 ms, 3.0 T at 20°C
The CaliberMRI Premium System Phantom’s T2 spheres contain manganese chloride of varying concentrations so users can standardize T2 transverse relaxation to ultimately analyze different properties of soft tissues.
Proton density spheres for PD mapping between 5% and 100%
The CaliberMRI Premium System Phantom’s proton density 5%-100% array standardizes proton density in relation to typical tissue water content, in addition to precisely estimating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Introducing the Exclusive New Liquid Crystal MR-Readable Thermometer
Expand the temperature range capabilities of MRI standardization with the one-of-a-kind MR-readable thermometer
MRI standardization just got even easier with the integration of the CMRI patented LC MR-Readable Thermometer, developed in collaboration with NIST.1 Now qMRI advancers can standardize between 15°C and 24°C while simultaneously scanning the Essential System Phantom.
Compare & Contrast Premium vs. Essential Temperature Features
Contains CMRI's patented LC MR-Readable Thermometer for temperature standardization between 15°C and 24°C while scanning.
