A phantom for use in quality control measurement of a fully integrated
magnetic resonance/PET scanner is disclosed. The phantom features
radiation activity distributed throughout an electrically conductive
binder. Suitably, the binder is elastomeric and includes carbon fibers
distributed throughout it to set the conductivity of the phantom to a
desired level. The phantom is applicable to various multimodality
integrated medical imaging systems such as MR/SPECT and MR/CT in addition
to MR/PET.
