The development and validation of MR sequences require a high degree of reproducibility including phantom experiments that mimic in vivo. This study demonstrates the design, implementation, application and evaluation of a comprehensive left ventricle model. The model is designed to resemble motion patterns and flow dynamics of a beating heart, as well as signal characteristics and relaxation times of myocardial tissue.
