A lack of accepted standards and standardized phantoms suitable for the technical
validation of biophotonic instrumentation hinders the reliability and reproducibility of its …

We review the development of phantoms for optical coherence tomography (OCT) designed
to replicate the optical, mechanical and structural properties of a range of tissues. Such …

Virtual tissues (phantoms) are widely used for performance evaluation of imaging systems.
Specific design of the phantom is necessary for the correct assessment of a system's …

Significance: The polymer, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), has been increasingly used to
make tissue simulating phantoms due to its excellent processability, durability, flexibility, and …

Optical coherence elastography (OCE) is emerging as a method to image the mechanical
properties of tissue on the microscale. However, the spatial resolution, a main advantage of …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a growing imaging technique for real-time early
diagnosis of digestive system diseases. As with other well-established medical imaging …

Birefringence imaging, including polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-
OCT), can provide valuable insight into the microscopic structure and organization of many …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) has been actively studied as a
noninvasive imaging technology to generate retinal blood vessel network maps for the …

We present a three-dimensional structured tissue-mimicking phantom for use in optical
coherence tomography (OCT). The phantom was fabricated from a silicone matrix and …

We have designed, fabricated, and tested a nanoparticle-embedded phantom (NEP)
incorporated into a model eye in order to characterize the point spread function (PSF) of …
