I found inconsistencies between brain_phantom2D()
and the references provided.
The current phantom definition holds:
- The T2* value of MARROW is 70 ms, it should be 61 ms according to (Aubert-Broche, B. et al., 2006a)
- The PD value of SKIN/MUSCLE is 0.7, it should be 1 according to (Aubert-Broche, B. et al., 2006a)
- The T1 value of MUSCLE is 900 ms. According to (Aubert-Broche, B. et al., 2006a), it should be 0 ms, but according to (BrainWeb) it should be 900 ms. However, (BrainWeb) is not referenced in the documentation.
