Quantitative analysis of fetal magnetic resonance phantoms and recommendations for an anthropomorphic motion phantom.

DISCUSSION: Currently available fetal phantoms lack accuracy and motion simulation. 3D printing may lead to higher accuracy compared with traditional manufacturing. Future research needs to focus on properly simulating both fetal anatomy and physiological motion to produce a phantom that is appropriate for fetal MRI sequence development and optimization.
