A novel breast phantom was created for the breast
imaging community for implementation of quality control
measures. The phantom contains well-distributed fat and
fibroglandular T1 relaxation mimics and diffusion
mimics. In addition, the phantom has a flexible outer
shell so that it is compatible with several coil
designs. In initial testing, the phantom fit in several
coil designs, enabled fat-suppression tests, and allowed
assessment of diffusion artifacts. Please visit our
