✦ Synopsis
To describe a novel hardware MR-perfusion phantom to model first-pass of a bolus of contrast in the cardiac cavities and large thoracic vessels (arterial input function, AIF) and in the myocardium, allowing for the acquisition of dynamic first-pass MR-perfusion data and for a precise control of cardiac output and myocardial perfusion for true validation of perfusion quantification.
