Aim: We present a sophisticated breast phantom platform for photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) imaging in general, and specifically for QPAT. The breast phantom is semi-anthropomorphic in distribution of optical and acoustic properties and contains wall-less channels with blood.

In religion and mythology, anthropomorphism is the perception of a divine being or beings in human form, or the recognition of human qualities in these beings. Ancient mythologies frequently represented the divine as deities with human forms and qualities.

Dec 13, 2017 · Ex-vivo human vertebrae (n = 13) and a phantom containing different known HA concentrations were placed in a semi-anthropomorphic abdomen phantom with different extension rings simulating ...

Nov 1, 2019 · In this work we present the first three dimensional multi-layered semi-anthropomorphic photoacoustic breast phantom. The phantom aims to simulate skin, fat, fibroglandular tissue and blood vessels.

Aug 1, 2021 · Semi-anthropomorphic phantom 48 volumes of interest (VOIs) of 32 × 32 × 32 mm 3 were extracted from CT data of 48 prostate cancer patients. All VOIs contained lymph nodes that were previously investigated using PSMA PET/CT imaging.

Oct 7, 2023 · In this work, we present the first semi-anthropomorphic calcaneus phantom for PAQUS. The phantom was developed based on nano computed-tomography (nano-CT) and stereolithography 3D printing, aiming to maximize accuracy in the approximation of both trabecular and cortical bone microstructures.

In this work, we develop a 3D semi-anthropomorphic phantom in which wall-less vascular channels are present to carry bovine blood whose SO 2 is tunable. The phantom is endowed with tissue-realistic optical and acoustic properties, and a …

Mar 1, 2023 · To assess image quality of a deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithm across dose levels using a semi-anthropomorphic upper-abdominal phantom, and compare with filtered back projection (FBP) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR).

Mar 16, 2021 · In this work, we develop a 3D semi-anthropomorphic phantom in which wall-less vascular channels are present to carry bovine blood whose SO 2 is tunable. The phantom is endowed with tissue-realistic optical and acoustic properties, and a morphological complexity that approximates a real breast.

Blood-carrying channels, with ability to tune oxygenation, make the phantom suited for investigating the capability to extract oxygen saturation.
