To present the use of a quality control ice-water phantom for DW-MRI. DW-MRI has emerged as an important cancer imaging biomarker candidate for diagnosis and early treatment response assessment. Validating imaging biomarkers through multi-center trials requires calibration and performance testing across sites. The phantom consisted of a center tube filled with distilled water surrounded by ice-water. Following preparation of the phantom approximately 30 minutes was allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. DW-MRI data was collected at 7 institutions, 20 MRI scanners from three vendors and 2 field strengths (1.5 and 3T). The phantom was also scanned on a single system on 16 different days over a 25 day period. All data was transferred to a central processing site at the University of Michigan for analysis. Results revealed that the variation of measured ADC values between all systems tested was ±5% indicating excellent agreement between systems. Reproducibility of a single system over a 25 day period was also found to be within ±5% ADC values. Overall, the use of an ice water phantom for assessment of ADC was found to be a reasonable candidate for use in multi-center trials. The ice water phantom described here is a practical and universal approach to validate the accuracy of ADC measurements with ever changing MRI sequence and hardware design and can be readily implemented in multicenter clinical trial designs.
