Home < MBIRN: structural calibration dissemination
  • Overview of dissemination contents
    • Multi-site phantom data: phantom that helps asses image distortions from gradient non-linearities
    • Multi-site human data: healthy volunteers, most of which were scanned twice at the participating sites
    • Human Protocol: multi-spectral 3D structural (FLASH with multiple flip angles: 30, 20, 5, 3 degrees)
    • Sites: Five sites with different 1.5T systems (Siemens, GE, Philips/Picker)
