Series of 4D adult XCAT phantoms for imaging research and dosimetry
Computerized phantoms are finding an increasingly important role in medical imaging research. With the ability to simulate various imaging conditions, they offer a practical means with which to quantitatively evaluate and improve imaging devices and techniques. This is especially true in CT due to the high radiation levels involved with it. Despite their utility, due to the time required to dev...
متن کاملModeling Respiratory Mechanics in the MCAT and Spline-Based MCAT Phantoms
Respiratory motion can cause artifacts in myocardial SPECT. We incorporate respiratory mechanics into the current 4D MCAT and into the next generation spline-based MCAT phantoms. In order to simulate respiratory motion in the current MCAT phantom, the geometric solids for the diaphragm, heart, ribs, and lungs were altered through manipulation of parameters defining them. Affine transformations ...

15 صفحه اولFeasibility and Validation of 4-D Pulse Wave Imaging in Phantoms and In Vivo.
Pulse wave imaging (PWI) is a noninvasive technique for tracking the propagation of the pulse wave along the arterial wall. The 3-D ultrasound imaging would aid in objectively estimating the pulse wave velocity (PWV) vector. This paper aims to introduce a novel PWV estimation method along the propagation direction, validate it in phantoms, and test its feasibility in vivo. A silicone vessel pha...
