Tissue mimicking materials (TMMs), typically contained within phantoms, have been used
for many decades in both imaging and therapeutic applications. This review investigates the …

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 …

Anthropomorphic breast phantoms are both, computational and physical, anatomically and
radiologically realistic models of the human female breast, and are considered an excellent …

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 …

Randomized clinical trials, while often viewed as the highest evidentiary bar by which to
judge the quality of a medical intervention, are far from perfect. In silico imaging trials are …

Medical imaging phantoms are widely used for validation and verification of imaging
systems and algorithms in surgical guidance and radiation oncology procedures. Especially …

Simulated breast lesion models, including microcalcification clusters and masses, have
been used in several studies. Realistic lesion models are required for virtual clinical trials to …

Objective. This work describes an approach for producing physical anthropomorphic breast
phantoms from clinical patient data using three-dimensional (3D) fused-deposition …
