Estimating the term…
An MRI phantom for calibrated anisotropic imaging includes a plurality of separate sheathed taxons or integral taxons sharing common taxon walls, wherein each taxon has an inner diameter of less than 5 microns. The taxons form taxon filaments that are combined to form taxon ribbons. The taxons may have an average inner diameter of less than 1 micron, specifically about 0.8 microns with a packing density of about 1,000,000 per square millimeter. The filaments may include structural features such as an outer frame and crossing support ribs and may further include a visible alignment feature that allows for verifying orientation of an individual filament. The taxons may be formed as taxon fibers manufactured using a bi or tri-component textile/polymer manufacturing process. An anisotropic homogeneity phantom may include frame members that support fiber tracks extending in orthogonal directions, wherein each fiber track is formed of taxons.
An MRI phantom for calibrated anisotropic imaging comprising a plurality of taxons, wherein each taxon has an inner diameter of less than 5 microns and wherein the taxons include at least one of i) are integral and share common taxon walls, or ii) are formed within an outer sheath, and wherein the taxons have an average inner diameter of less than 2 micron.
An MRI phantom for calibrated anisotropic imaging comprising an array of integral taxons sharing common taxon walls, wherein the taxons are formed as taxon fibers manufactured using a bi or tri-component textile/polymer manufacturing process.
An MRI phantom including one phantom section formed as an anisotropic homogeneity phantom having frame members that support fiber tracks extending in mutually orthogonal directions, wherein each fiber track is formed of taxons.
