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

Purpose With the advent of three‐dimensional (3D) breast imaging modalities such as
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and dedicated breast CT (bCT), research into new …

Purpose: The proliferation of cone‐beam CT (CBCT) has created interest in performance
optimization, with x‐ray scatter identified among the main limitations to image quality. CBCT …

Purpose: Physical phantoms are essential for the development, optimization, and evaluation
of x‐ray breast imaging systems. Recognizing the major effect of anatomy on image quality …

This paper introduces and applies a structured phantom with inserted target objects for the
comparison of detection performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) against 2D full …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop a realistic patient‐based 4D digital breast
phantom including time‐varying contrast enhancement for simulation of dedicated breast CT …

This article provides methods to fabricate and characterize tissue equivalent properties of
mammography phantom. The characterized properties are elemental composition, effective …

In this article, a heterogeneous multimodal anthropomorphic breast phantom with carcinoma
is introduced to meet the response of the natural breast tissue when imaged using ionizing …

Background: Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer and second deadliest
cancer in women. Diagnostic imaging techniques are a critical part for screening, diagnosis …

This chapter presents a technical evaluation of some of the more popular models of test
objects and phantoms commonly applied to image quality and/or radiation dose evaluation …
