Claim 12:
13. A computer-implemented method for determining at least one quantitative diffusion parameter extracted for characterization of a tissue being suspicious to a tumorous modification in magnetic resonance imaging, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
a) placing a phantom calibration body of claim 1 in a vicinity of the tissue;
b) receiving raw magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data being recorded by applying at least one diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequence concurrently to the tissue and to the phantom calibration body;
c) extracting at least one quantitative diffusion parameter of the tissue from the raw MRI data, wherein the corresponding quantitative diffusion parameter of the phantom calibration body is considered.
