✦ Synopsis

A tissue phantom for diffusion-weighted imaging was developed, basing its contrast between two compartments on different apparent diffusion coefficients, without contrast due to T2 relaxation and proton density. These contrast properties of the phantom simulate the situation found in normal gray matter and areas of acute ischemia. A possible application of the phantom was demonstrated for the investigation of the accuracy of volume measurements based on diffusion-weighted images.

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the diffusion sensitivity factor __b__ that optimizes the contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) for both diffusion‐weighted signal intensity and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCNR) when evaluating ischemic stroke by diffusion‐weighted MRI. The r
