3-D Stochastic Numerical Breast Phantoms for Enabling Virtual Imaging Trials of Ultrasound Computed Tomography [PDF]
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ULTRASONICS, FERROELECTRICS, AND FREQUENCY
CONTROL, VOL. 69, NO. 1, JANUARY 2022, 2021 Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) is an emerging imaging modality for breast imaging that can produce quantitative images that depict the acoustic properties of tissues. Computer-simulation studies, also known as virtual imaging trials, provide researchers with an economical and convenient route to systematically explore imaging system designs and ...

Materials for phantoms for terahertz pulsed imaging [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2004 Phantoms are commonly used in medical imaging for quality assurance, calibration, research and teaching. They may include test patterns or simulations of organs, but in either case a tissue substitute medium is an important component of the phantom.

Development and application of stable phantoms for the evaluation of photoacoustic imaging instruments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Photoacoustic imaging combines the high contrast of optical imaging with the spatial resolution and penetration depth of ultrasound. This technique holds tremendous potential for imaging in small animals and importantly, is clinically translatable.

Monte Carlo Simulation for Polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography with Sheet-Beam Geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 X-ray fluorescence computed tomography based on sheet-beam can save a huge amount of time to obtain a whole set of projections using synchrotron. However, it is clearly unpractical for most biomedical research laboratories. In this paper, polychromatic X-
