Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Medical phantoms are crucial for device calibration, validation, and training.
  • Existing lung phantoms often lack anatomical accuracy, limiting their use across imaging modalities.
  • This study addresses the need for a lung phantom with both accurate tissue properties and anatomical equivalence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a lung phantom that accurately mimics in vivo ultrasound and MRI properties.
  • To incorporate relevant anatomical features for comprehensive device testing.
  • To enhance the utility of phantoms for medical imaging research and education.

Main Methods:

  • Materials were selected based on published data, qualitative ultrasound comparisons, and quantitative MRI relaxation values.
  • A PVC ribcage provided structural support, with silicone-based materials used for tissue layers.
  • Silicone foam mimicked lung tissue, and the pleural layer was formed by material interfaces.

Main Results:

  • The phantom successfully replicated distinct lung tissue layers in ultrasound imaging.
  • Quantitative MRI analysis showed T1 and T2 relaxation values comparable to in vivo lung tissue.
  • Specific comparisons revealed minimal differences in relaxation values (1.9% T1, 19.8% T2) for muscle/fat layers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed lung phantom design is validated through qualitative ultrasound and quantitative MRI.
  • This phantom accurately models human lung anatomy and tissue characteristics.
  • The findings support the phantom's utility for advanced medical imaging applications.
