Abstract
Phantoms of blood vessels are an important part of flow measurements and should behave as realistic as possible compared to human blood vessels. A step-by-step guide is presented on how to obtain realistic 3D models of blood vessels applicable for 3D printing and simulation studies. The resulting 3D models have realistic dimensions, are waterproof and could be used in a human-sized MPI scanner. The 3D printed phantoms with vascular pathologies like aneurysm or stenosis were used in static and real-time bolus tracking measurements.
