A.A. Martinos Center / Wald group phantom Wiki

This Wiki is a resource for people who are constructing antrhopomorphic MRI phantoms developed by Larry Wald's group at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital.

The basic principle is that improved anthropomorphic phantoms lead to better and faster development of MRI methodology with less use of healthy subject volunteers. This is both cost effective and ethical. Therefore we distribute our designs and ask only that you reference the appropriate paper and the source of the design.

The designs are available in CAD and STL files and are intended to be 3D printed. Most of the components are open source designs.
