MRI Phantom

MR images can be used to map the internals of the human body.  The MR Linac at Radboud UMC includes radiological therapy.  To be able to precisely target cancers for treatment, the MR image needs to be as accurate as possible.  The distortion can be mapped by inserting a grid of markers with a defined position (an MRI phantom) into the MRI machine.

Project description

Phantoms already exist but they have a low marker density.  The goal of this project is to create a phantom with a higher marker density, preferably through 3d printing. The main difficulty of the project is creating a full scale 50L MRI phantom that is MRI safe (no metals), and to have a 0.2 mm tolerance for all markers.
