Digital Neonate Phantom

This digital neonate phantom model was constructed for the purposes of MRI safety evaluation. It was created from MRI images of a neonate (female, gestational age 38w6d, age at scan 1 day, birth weight 3.50kg) with resolution 0.98 x 0.98 x 1.5mm³. The images were semi-automatically segmented into 13 tissue types. The face has been slightly blurred to preserve the anonymity of the subject. A 'blanket' layer has also been added for thermal simulations. Full details are available in the corresponding publication (doi:10.1002/mrm.28784). Please note that you must cite this paper if you use the model, and it is provided for non-commercial purposes only. The model is provided as a 3D nifti format image. Nifti (.nii) is a popular medical image format and is readable by many freely available software packages. Each voxel has an integer label corresponding to the classes listed below: <strong>Key to tissue labels</strong> 0 Background<br> 1 Heart<br> 2 Lungs<br> 3 Aorta<br> 4 Brain<br> 5 Fat<br> 6 Gut<br> 7 Liver<br> 8 Bone<br> 9 Eyes<br> 10 Inferior Vena Cava<br> 11 Skin<br> 12 Thyroid<br> 13 Blanket<br> 14 Muscle/Tissue
