MRI is increasingly used in radiation treatment planning because of the excellent soft tissue contrast in the obtained images. It allows more precise definition of the boundaries between healthy tissues and those affected by cancerous lesions. To obtain good image quality, the difference in signal between two types of tissue must be significant despite the noise so it must be properly calibrated. This calibration includes testing whether the system correctly reflects the spatial distribution of the individual phantom elements as well as verification of relaxation times and proton densities. The aim of this research was to create a phantom that would reflect the magnetic parameters of liver tissue, allowing the calibration of relaxation times.
