Coded Aperture (CA) imaging has recently been used in nuclear medicine, but still, there is no commercial SPECT imaging camera based on CA for cancer detection. The literature is rich in examples of using the CA for planar and thin 3D imaging.

Generating Anthropomorphic Phantoms Using Fully Unsupervised Deformable Image Registration with Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Objectives: Computerized phantoms play an essential role in various applications of medical imaging research. Although the existing computerized phantoms can model anatomical variations through organ and phantom scaling, this does not provide a way to fully reproduce anatomical variations seen in humans.

Real-time markerless tumour tracking with patient-specific deep learning using a personalized data generation strategy: Proof of concept by phantom study [PDF]
Objective: For real-time markerless tumour tracking in stereotactic lung radiotherapy, we propose a different approach which uses patient-specific deep learning (DL) using a personalized data generation strategy, avoiding the need for collection of a large patient data set.

Super Phantoms: advanced models for testing medical imaging technologies [PDF]
Phantoms are test objects used for initial testing and optimization of medical imaging techniques, but these rarely capture the complex properties of the tissue. Here we introduce super phantoms, that surpass standard phantoms being able to replicate complex anatomic and functional imaging properties of tissues and organs.

Development of a blood oxygenation phantom for photoacoustic tomography combined with online pO2 detection and flow spectrometry [PDF]
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is intrinsically sensitive to blood oxygen saturation (sO2) in vivo. However, making accurate sO2 measurements without knowledge of tissue- and instrumentation-related correction factors is extremely challenging. We have developed a low-cost flow phantom system to facilitate validation of photoacoustic tomography systems.
