Part A – About this Order Process
1. BACKGROUND
T1CMR, the Cardiac T1 Mapping and ECV Phantom (Captur G. et al. J Cardiovasc Magn Reson. 2016) was designed by a team of experts including cardiologists, physicists, engineers and national metrology institutes, led by Prof James C Moon (University College London) and Dr Peter Gatehouse (Imperial College London). Resonance Health was funded to manufacture ~70 phantoms for distribution to CMR centres worldwide, engaged in the T1 Mapping and ECV Standardisation (T1MES) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance programme which commenced in September 2015. This study is now completed and accrued data confirm phantom stability beyond 1-year (see Factsheet provided).
Development of the first batch of T1MES Phantoms was funded by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), the UK National Institutes of Health Research (NIHR) and the Barts Charity, and devices were provided for free to participating study sites for the duration of the project.
Each phantom, available either for 1.5T or 3T scanners, will come at a unit price of USD 5,000 to cover manufacturing and quality assurance costs. (Please note that the T1MES academic collaborators are not financially involved in any aspect of this sale but keen to support the diffusion of the project to spark new research in the field.)
