In order to enable better access to the sensitivity of the diffusion indices to the underlying microstructure, it is important to develop artificial model systems that exhibit a well-known structure, on the one hand, but benefit from a reduced complexity on the other hand. In this work, we developed a novel multisection diffusion phantom made of polyethylene fibers tightly wound on an acrylic support. The phantom exhibits three regions with different geometrical configuration of fibers: a region with fibers crossing at right angles, a region with parallel fibers and homogeneous density, and, finally, a region with parallel fibers but with a gradient of fiber density along the axis of symmetry. This gives rise to a gradual change of the degree of anisotropy within the same phantom. In this way, the need to construct several phantoms with different fiber densities is avoided, and one can access different fractional anisotropies in the same experiment under the same physical conditions. The properties of the developed phantom are demonstrated by means of diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging. The measurements were performed using a diffusion-weighted spin-echo and a diffusion-weighted stimulated-echo pulse sequence programmed in-house. The influence of the fiber density packing on the diffusion parameters was analyzed. We also demonstrate how the novel phantom can be used for the validation of high angular resolution diffusion imaging data analysis. 000020776 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK409$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems (FUEK409)$$cFUEK409$$x0 000020776 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89573$$a89573 - Neuroimaging (POF2-89573)$$cPOF2-89573$$fPOF II T$$x1 000020776 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAlgorithms 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAnisotropy 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBrain Mapping: methods 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDiffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aEquipment Design 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aImaging, Three-Dimensional 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNerve Fibers, Myelinated: ultrastructure 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPhantoms, Imaging 000020776 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPolyethylene 000020776 650_7 $$09002-88-4$$2NLM Chemicals$$aPolyethylene 000020776 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aDiffusion tensor imaging 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aDiffusion kurtosis imaging 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aFiber phantom 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aStimulated echo 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aQ-ball imaging 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aSpherical harmonic deconvolution 000020776 65320 $$2Author$$aHigh angular resolution diffusion imaging 000020776 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB18957$$aKaffanke, J.$$b1$$uFZJ 000020776 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB105045$$aCelik, A.A.$$b2$$uFZJ 000020776 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB18939$$aStöcker, T.$$b3$$uFZJ 000020776 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB101446$$aGrinberg, F.$$b4$$uFZJ 000020776 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131794$$aShah, N.J.$$b5$$uFZJ 000020776 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1500646-3$$a10.1016/j.mri.2011.12.012$$gVol. 30, p. 518 - 526$$p518 - 526$$q30<518 - 526$$tMagnetic resonance imaging$$v30$$x0730-725X$$y2012 000020776 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2011.12.012 000020776 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:20776$$pVDB 000020776 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-573$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$vNeuroimaging$$x0 000020776 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89573$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vNeuroimaging$$x1 000020776 9141_ $$y2012 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$2StatID$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000020776 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine 000020776 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-4-20090406$$gINM$$kINM-4$$lPhysik der Medizinischen Bildgebung$$x0 000020776 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)136475 000020776 980__ $$aVDB 000020776 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000020776 980__ $$ajournal 000020776 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-4-20090406 000020776 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
