Abstract
The popularity of Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) as a beneficial therapeutic solution for many diseases is increasing rapidly, thus raising the need for reliable quality assurance (QA) phantoms for routine testing of MRgFUS systems. In this study, we propose a thin acrylic film as the cheapest and most easily accessible phantom for assessing the functionality of MRgFUS hardware and software.
