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 کامل4D PET: Beyond conventional dynamic PET imaging
In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...
متن کاملMaterials for phantoms for terahertz pulsed imaging.
Phantoms are commonly used in medical imaging for quality assurance, calibration, research and teaching. They may include test patterns or simulations of organs, but in either case a tissue substitute medium is an important component of the phantom. The aim of this work was to identify materials suitable for use as tissue substitutes for the relatively new medical imaging modality terahertz pul...
متن کاملAccelerated 4D flow imaging with variable-density cartesian undersampling and parallel imaging reconstruction
Methods Variable-density Poisson Disk Distribution (VD-PDD) undersampling was applied for 4D flow imaging. By applying VD-PDD independently at each time frame (Figure 1a), we achieved random undersampling in both the ky-kz plane and temporal domains. In addition, we applied an improved initial solution for SPIRIT to significantly improve reconstruction accuracy and robustness. We explored the d...
متن کاملSilicone breast phantoms for elastographic imaging evaluation.
PURPOSE Breast cancer is a major public health issue for women, and early detection significantly increases survival rate. Currently, there is increased research interest in elastographic soft-tissue imaging techniques based on the correlation between pathology and mechanical stiffness. Anthropomorphic breast phantoms are critical for ex vivo validation of emerging elastographic technologies. T...
