March 24, 2016 | Comments Off on NIST develops measurement standard for breast cancer MRI.
Researchers at NIST have developed the first widely useful standard for magnetic resonance imaging of the breast. NIST phantom will help standardize MRIs of breast tissue and ensure quality control in comparing images within and between medical research studies. Phantom mimics response of human tissue to help test performance of medical imaging systems. It supports quantitative MRI, which is increasingly used for breast cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring.
