Realistic analytical polyhedral MRI phantoms

Analytical phantoms have closed form Fourier transform expressions and are used to simulate MRI acquisitions. Existing three‐dimensional (3D) analytical phantoms are unable to accurately model shapes of biomedical interest. The goal of this study was to demonstrate that polyhedral analytical phantoms have closed form Fourier transform expressions and can accurately represent 3D biomedical shapes.
