Figure 1. MR images and illustration of ROI around sample. T2 FSE images: (a) Acrylic resin control, (b) KIK-Wing, (c) Cobaltan. GE images: (d) Acrylic resin control, (e) KIK-Wing, (f) Cobaltan. Black arrow shows signal intensification, and white arrow indicates signal void. Illustration of the phantom for imaging longitudinal section of a sample. ROI is represented as an entire gray area (g).

Figure 2. Histogram of distribution of SI in the ROI around the sample. T2 FSE images: (a) Acrylic resin control, (b) KIK-Wing, (c) Cobaltan. GE images: (d) Acrylic resin control, (e) KIK-Wing, (f) Cobaltan. The reproducibility of the histogram was confirmed, and the results was similar in 5 measurements for each sample. Only a histogram of one measurement is shown here with an interval of one signal intensity.
