Gradient calibration is critical to accurate sampling of
q-space in diffusion MRI, particularly for applications
such as diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) that rely on a
precise relationship of q-space sampling. Cyclooctane
possesses a number of properties that make it suitable
for gradient calibration at high b-values, including
isotropic diffusion, relatively low diffusivity and high
viscosity, and a single proton resonance. We present the
novel use of a phantom intended for gradient calibration
in DSI and other high b-value q-space imaging
applications.
