- Abstract
We describe an easily constructed, customizable phantom for magnetic resonance imaging–ultrasound fusion imaging and demonstrate its role as a learning tool to initiate clinical use of this emerging modality. Magnetic resonance imaging–ultrasound fusion can prove unwieldy to integrate into routine practice. We demonstrate real‐time fusion with single‐sequence magnetic resonance imaging uploaded to the ultrasound console. Phantom training sessions allow radiologists and sonographers to practice fiducial marker selection and improve efficiency with the fusion hardware and software interfaces. Such a tool is useful when the modality is first introduced to a practice and in settings of sporadic use, in which intermittent training may be useful.
