Phantom Verification and Calibration Devices
Our Phantoms are specially designed to allow verification of the correct MRI scanner configuration of each MRI centre for our services. In addition, we created the T1CMR Phantom, which provides correct T1 and ECV mapping standardisation and quality assurance of MRI scanners.
FerriScan® Phantom
The FerriScan® Phantom consists of a sealed pack of vials containing a range of standardised concentrations of manganese chloride (MnCl2) solution. It was designed to replicate the range of liver iron loading seen in clinical practice.
The FerriScan® Phantom is recommended for the MRI scanner initial setup (and compulsory as per clinical trial arrangement) to ensure the correct sequence settings have been used.
A FerriScan® Phantom Pack must be scanned by every MRI scanner during initial setup to ensure the correct sequence has been used and images are acquired correctly.

R2*/T2* Phantom
The R2*/T2* Phantom was designed for correct verification of scanner configuration for our Cardiac T2* and Spleen T2* service.
Cardiac iron loading can be assessed by MRI of Cardiac T2* (Cardiac T2* is globally recognised as the gold standard in the assessment of cardiac iron load via T2* measurement). As part of the clinical trial setup, it is requested that sites initially scan a Cardiac T2* Phantom and submit the data to Resonance Health to verify the parameter settings and image quality.
The R2*/T2* Phantom provides correct verification of scanner configuration for our Spleen R2*/T2* service. This service is for investigational use only as regulatory clearance has not been applied for, and results are to be interpreted in the context of a clinical study. As part of service setup, it is requested that sites initially scan a R2*/T2* Phantom using the Spleen R2*/T2* imaging protocol and submit the data to Resonance Health to verify the parameter settings and image quality before subject scanning commences.

T1CMR Phantom
What is T1MES?
The T1CMR (T1MES) and T2CMR phantoms are Cardiac T1 and T2 Mapping standardisation tools designed by a team of experts including cardiologists, physicists, engineers and national metrology institutes, led by Prof James C Moon (University College London), Dr Peter Gatehouse (Imperial College London) and Dr Gabriella Captur (University College London). Resonance Health is the sole manufacturer of these Phantoms.
