About Gold Standard Phantoms
The Global Authority in Medical Imaging Calibration
Our Mission
To transform medical imaging from a pattern recognition-based technique to a quantitative and reproducible scientific measurement methodology.
As a UCL spinout founded in 2015, we've grown from pioneering research to become a comprehensive calibration authority—providing precision phantoms, calibration services, and automated QA solutions that ensure accurate, traceable measurements across the global medical imaging ecosystem.
What We Do
Gold Standard Phantoms is more than a phantom manufacturer. We are a complete calibration partner for the medical imaging community:
Precision Phantoms
- • NIST-traceable physical standards
- • Multi-parametric tissue mimics
- • Custom research phantoms
- • Validated reference objects
Calibration Services
- • Scanner calibration protocols
- • Cross-site harmonisation
- • Measurement traceability
- • Performance certification
- • VERIFLUX cloud analysis platform
Global Impact
Our calibration solutions are trusted by over 200+ institutions worldwide, from academic powerhouses like UCL, Oxford, and Johns Hopkins to industry leaders including GE Healthcare, Siemens, and Philips. With 500+ phantoms delivered globally and 50+ active research collaborations including national metrology institutes like NPL and NIST, we're establishing the gold standard for quantitative MRI worldwide.
Our Vision
To be the premier provider of calibration services for clinical quantitative MRI worldwide. We envision a future where every MRI scan is not just a picture, but a precise, calibrated measurement that clinicians can trust for diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring.
