Spherical lesion phantoms for testing the performance of elastography systems.
A set of three cubic one-litre phantoms containing spherical simulated lesions was produced for use in comparing lesion detection performance of different elastography systems. The materials employed are known to be stable in heterogeneous configurations regarding geometry and elastic contrast identical with (storage modulus of lesion material) / (storage modulus of background material), and re...
متن کاملAnthropomorphic breast phantoms for quality assurance and dose verification
An evaluation of two anthropomorphic breast phantoms, which have been designed for quality assurance and dose verification of radiotherapy treatment of breast cancer patients, is presented. These phantoms are identical in terms of their dimensions and shape, and composed of several layers of either Plastic Water or tissue-equivalent material. Both water- and tissue-equivalent phantoms include l...
متن کاملOptimized generation of high resolution breast anthropomorphic software phantoms.
PURPOSE The authors present an efficient method for generating anthropomorphic software breast phantoms with high spatial resolution. Employing the same region growing principles as in their previous algorithm for breast anatomy simulation, the present method has been optimized for computational complexity to allow for fast generation of the large number of phantoms required in virtual clinical...
متن کاملRealistic Simulation of Breast Tissue Microstructure in Software Anthropomorphic Phantoms
Software anthropomorphic breast phantoms have been used in virtual clinical trials for preclinical validation of breast imaging systems. Virtual trial quality depends largely on the realism of the simulated breast anatomy. Our phantom design has been focused on the simulation of large-scale and mesoscale anatomical structures, including the breast outline, skin, and matrix of Cooper’s ligaments...
متن کاملAutomatic Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Pulmonary CT Phantoms
The great density and structural complexity of pulmonary vessels and airways impose limitations on the generation of accurate reference standards, which are critical in training and in the validation of image processing methods for features such as pulmonary vessel segmentation or artery-vein (AV) separations. The design of synthetic computed tomography (CT) images of the lung could overcome th...
