Ultrasound imaging characterization on tissue mimicking materials for cardiac tissue phantom: Texture analysis perspective

Tissue mimicking materials for a multi-imaging modality prostate phantom.

Materials that simultaneously mimic soft tissue in vivo for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), and computed tomography (CT) for use in a prostate phantom have been developed. Prostate and muscle mimicking materials contain water, agarose, lipid particles, protein, Cu++, EDTA, glass beads, and thimerosal (preservative). Fat was mimicked with safflower oil suffusing a random mesh ...

Tissue-mimicking phantom materials for narrowband and ultrawideband microwave applications.

We propose and characterize oil-in-gelatin dispersions that approximate the dispersive dielectric properties of a variety of human soft tissues over the microwave frequency range from 500 MHz to 20 GHz. Different tissues are mimicked by selection of an appropriate concentration of oil. The materials possess long-term stability and can be employed in heterogeneous configurations without change i...

Novel tissue mimicking materials for high frequency breast ultrasound phantoms.

The development and acoustical characterisation of a range of novel agar-based tissue mimicking material (TMMs) for use in clinically relevant, quality assurance (QA) and anthropomorphic breast phantoms are presented. The novel agar-based TMMs described in this study are based on a comprehensive, systematic variation of the ingredients in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) TMM....

Characterization of tissue-simulating phantom materials for ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy

Characterization of Tissue-mimicking Materials Using Magnetic Induced Shear Wave

Estimation of the tissues mechanical properties of is an important information to the pathologies diagnosis. A novel ultrasound-based methods use shear wave dispersion for this purpose. This paper describes the Magneto Motive Ultrasound (MMUs) implementation to evaluate mechanical parameters of paraffin phantoms. This technique can be applied in vivo as an alternative to biopsy. Ultrasound equi...
