Breast phantoms are a fundamental asset both in routine quality assurance programs and
for comparing scanner performance in 2D and 3D x-ray breast imaging. They also play an …

Purpose To present a dataset of computational digital breast phantoms derived from high‐
resolution three‐dimensional (3D) clinical breast images for the use in virtual clinical trials in …

Virtual clinical trials (VCT) are in-silico reproductions of medical examinations, which adopt
digital models of patients and simulated devices. They are intended to produce clinically …

In radiation-based medical imaging research, computational modeling methods are used to
design and validate imaging systems and post-processing algorithms. Monte Carlo methods …

The virtual image system is a key component of virtual clinical trials (VCTs) which can be
utilized to evaluate and improve medical imaging devices. The main limitation of VCTs in the …

This work aims at calculating and releasing tabulated values of dose conversion coefficients,
