CaliberMRI Releases qDisc Phantom to Expand Quantitative MRI Capabilities for Clinical and Research Sites

CaliberMRI, an automation software and imaging phantoms company, has introduced the qDisc, a new quantitative MRI phantom designed to augment the functionality of the Medium ACR Phantom commonly used in clinical quality-assurance workflows. The qDisc provides stable reference materials for diffusion, T1/T2 relaxation and temperature measurements, allowing imaging teams to perform more comprehensive scanner performance checks without adding complex new equipment. The company says the device provides a practical option to gather metrics during routine scans. The harmonization of MRI scanners and AI software for analysis can be done using the qDisc, which complements CaliberMRI's existing offerings.

Interest in quantitative MRI is rising as hospitals and research centers adopt standardized metrics to compare imaging across scanners and sites. The qDisc’s integration with the ACR phantom offers a practical path for sites that want to expand quantitative QA without overhauling existing processes.
