From: Two-centre comparative experimental study of biparametric MRI at 3.0 T with and without endorectal coil using kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) as a phantom for human prostate

Setup of kiwifruit phantom and comparison with a male human pelvis. Respective axial MR-images of kiwifruit phantom (a, c) and human pelvis (b, d) examined with bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 T without (a, b) and with an endo-rectal coil (c, d) included in a multichannel phased-array coil system show similar coil-load; “Bo” indicates copper-sulphate solution bottle, “Gel” indicates gel compress-packs, and “W” indicates open-spout plastic watering-can. Photographs (e, f) show a watering can (W) with endo-rectal coil handle fixed in the spout (arrow) with a wine-cork and rubber-band, and set-up complete with supporting sandbags (Sa) and abdominal phased-array surface coil (BPA)
