Introduction An ideal organ‐specific insert phantom should be able to simulate the
anatomical features with appropriate appearances in the resultant computed tomography …

Objectives To develop and evaluate methods for assembling radiopaque printed paper
sheets to realistic patient phantoms for CT dose and image quality testing. Methods CT …

Background Anthropomorphic torso phantoms, including a cardiac insert, are frequently
used to investigate the imaging performance of SPECT and PET systems. These phantom …

Purpose To develop a method to create anthropomorphic phantoms of individual patients
with high precision of anatomic details and radiation attenuation properties. Materials and …

Purpose Imaging phantoms are widely used for testing and optimization of imaging devices
without the need to expose humans to irradiation. However, commercially available …

The current work describes an anthropomorphic beating heart phantom constructed as a
tool for the assessment of technological advances in cardiac X‐ray computed tomography …

Purpose Patient‐specific 3D‐printed phantoms have many potential applications, both
research and clinical. However, they have been limited in size and complexity because of …

The 4-D extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) phantom has provided a valuable tool to study the
effects of anatomy and motion on medical images, especially cardiac motion. One limitation …

An anthropomorphic phantom is a radiologically accurate, tissue realistic model of the
human body that can be used for research into innovative imaging and interventional …

Purpose: The authors previously developed the 4D extended cardiac‐torso (XCAT) phantom
for multimodality imaging research. The XCAT consisted of highly detailed whole‐body …
