    Polyacrylamide gel serves as an excellent phantom material for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging due to its tissue-like properties. Its stability and characteristics make it a valuable standard for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Developing accurate phantom materials is crucial for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) calibration and quality assurance.
    • Existing phantom materials may not fully replicate the complex properties of biological tissues.
    • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging requires materials with specific electrical and relaxation characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate polyacrylamide gel as a novel phantom material for NMR imaging.
    • To assess the suitability of polyacrylamide gel for MRI applications.
    • To establish polyacrylamide gel as a reliable standard for MRI.

    Main Methods:

    • Characterization of polyacrylamide gel's electrical properties.
    • Measurement of NMR relaxation times (T1 and T2) of polyacrylamide gel.
