Purpose Virtual (in silico) imaging trials (VITs), involving computerized phantoms and
models of the imaging process, provide a modern alternative to clinical imaging trials. VITs …

This study modeled a framework for virtual human liver phantoms, focusing primarily on the
intricate vascular networks that comprise the liver. Large vasculature was segmented from …

The accelerating complexity and variety of medical imaging devices and methods have
outpaced the ability to evaluate and optimize their design and clinical use. This is a …

Intra-arterial injection of therapeutic agents is among the most common options for
unresectable liver cancer. Such procedures rely on an in-depth assessment of the vessels …

Background Computed tomography perfusion imaging (CTPI) by repeated scanning has
clinical relevance but implies relatively high radiation exposure. We present a method to …

Liver CT perfusion (CTP) is used in the detection, staging, and treatment response analysis
of hepatic diseases. Unfortunately, CTP radiation exposures are significant, limiting more …

As medical imaging technologies continue to accelerate in complexity, application, and
multiplicity of design choices and use features, they should ideally be evaluated and …

This study aimed to develop a simulation framework to synthesize accurate and scanner-
specific Computed Tomography (CT) images of voxel-based computational phantoms. Two …

Purpose To develop a method to incorporate the propagation of contrast material into
computational anthropomorphic phantoms for estimation of organ dose at computed …

Objectives: To demonstrate the feasibility of developing a fixed, dual-input, biologic liver
phantom for dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging and to report …
