Phantoms for performance assessment of optical coherence tomography systems [PDF]
In this paper, we describe the procedures to make epoxy resin and agarose phantoms designed using Mie scattering calculations. The phantoms are constructed to be used in the estimation of point spread function (PSF) of an optical coherence tomography ...

Time-gated transillumination and reflection by biological tissues and tissuelike phantoms: simulation versus experiment [PDF]
A numerical method is presented to solve exactly the time-dependent diffusion equation that describes light transport in turbid media. The simulation takes into account spatial variations of the scattering and absorption factors of the medium and the ...

Organosilicon phantom for photoacoustic imaging
Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging technique. Although commercially available photoacoustic imaging systems currently exist, the technology is still in its infancy. Therefore, the design of stable phantoms is essential to achieve semiquantitative evaluation of the performance of a photoacoustic system and can help optimize the properties of contrast ...
