Medical imaging has allowed for significant advancements in the field of ultrasound
procedures over the years. However, each imaging modality exhibits distinct limitations that …

The characterization and calibration of ultrasound imaging systems requires tissue-
mimicking phantoms with known acoustic properties, dimensions and internal features …

Introduction and Aim: Ultrasound (US) provides valuable information in pathologies related
to the lung parenchyma that are in direct contact with the pleura. The aim of this work was to …

Human lung tissue is a complex and highly specialized organ responsible for the exchange
of oxygen and carbon dioxide, a process essential for respiration. The lungs are vital …

Objectives This work proposes a modular, anthropomorphic MR and CT thorax phantom that
enables the comparison of experimental studies for quantitative evaluation of deformable …

A low-cost custom-made pseudo-anthropomorphic lung phantom, offering a model for
ultrasound-guided interventions, is presented. The phantom is a rectangular solidstructure …

Purpose: We are evaluating the feasibility of a dynamic biological lung phantom for IGRT
studies, with the initial goal of developing a reliable phantom suitable for use in validation of …

We advocate for phantoms that replicate imaging features related to physical, functional, and
physiological properties of organs, both in health and disease. These physical and digital …

Tissue‐mimicking phantoms are valuable tools that aid in improving the equipment and
training available to medical professionals. However, current phantoms possess limited …
