Development of a physical 3D anthropomorphic breast phantom.
PURPOSE Develop a technique to fabricate a 3D anthropomorphic breast phantom with known ground truth for image quality assessment of 2D and 3D breast x-ray imaging systems. METHODS The phantom design is based on an existing computer model that can generate breast voxel phantoms of varying composition, size, and shape. The physical phantom is produced in two steps. First, the portion of the vo...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of an anthropomorphic breast software phantom based upon region-growing algorithm.
PURPOSE We present a novel algorithm for computer simulation of breast anatomy for generation of anthropomorphic software breast phantoms. A realistic breast simulation is necessary for preclinical validation of volumetric imaging modalities. METHODS The anthropomorphic software breast phantom simulates the skin, regions of adipose and fibroglandular tissue, and the matrix of Cooper's ligamen...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Anthropomorphic Breast Software Phantom Based on Region Growing Algorithm
Software breast phantoms offer greater flexibility in generating synthetic breast images compared to physical phantoms. The realism of such generated synthetic images depends on the method for simulating the three-dimensional breast anatomical structures. We present here a novel algorithm for computer simulation of breast anatomy. The algorithm simulates the skin, regions of predominantly adipo...
متن کاملA New Reliable Controller Placement Model for Software-Defined WANs
Software-Defined Network (SDNs) is a decoupled architecture that enables administrators to build a customizable and manageable network. Although the decoupled control plane provides flexible management and facilitates the task of operating the network, it is the vulnerable point of failure in SDN. To achieve a reliable control plane, multiple controller are often needed so that each switch must...
متن کاملA proposal for a standard electronic anthropomorphic phantom for radiotherapy.
To create a database of human male and female computed tomography (CT) slices, the National Library of Medicine organized the "Visible Human Project." Since the male and female data sets provided are approximately 269 MB and 915 MB, respectively, both the size and complexity have been reduced. While making the slices accessible to those with limited computing resources, the production of these ...
