It is used for accreditation by clinical and academic facilities for the American College of Radiology. [2] [3] The phantom was developed by Ronald J. Jaszczak [4] of Duke University, [5] and was filed for a patent in 1982. [6] It is a cylinder containing fillable inserts that is often used with a radionuclide such as Technetium-99m [7] or ...
The term "phantom" describes an object that is designed to resemble human tissue and can be evaluated, analyzed or manipulated to study the performance of a medical device. Phantoms are created using a digital file that is rendered through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computer-aided design (CAD).
ACR Education Center – located in Reston, VA, offers specialized mini-fellowships in more than a dozen clinical areas. [3]American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) – The AIRP conducts five courses for radiology residents and fellows, and seven categorical courses for practicing radiologists and other physicians each year in Silver Spring, MD.
Absolute Category Rating (ACR) is a test method used in quality tests. [1] [2] The levels of the scale are, sorted by quality in decreasing order: Excellent; Good; Fair; Poor; Bad; In this method, a single test condition (generally an image or a video sequence) is presented to the viewers once only. They should then give a quality rating on an ...
Interventional magnetic resonance imaging, also interventional MRI or IMRI, is the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to do interventional radiology procedures.. Because of the lack of harmful effects on the patient and the operator, MR is well suited for "interventional radiology", where the images produced by an MRI scanner are used to guide a minimally-invasive procedure ...
The phantom has a 4D beating heart model which was derived from 4D tagged (MRI) data. The remaining organs in the torso of the phantom were designed based on the Visible Human Project CT data set and were composed of 3D NURBS surfaces. Respiratory motion was also incorporated into this phantom.

The ACR White Paper on MR Safety has been rewritten and was released early in 2007 under the new title ACR Guidance Document for Safe MR Practices. In December 2007, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a UK healthcare regulatory body, issued their Safety Guidelines for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Equipment in Clinical ...
